I am one of those people who already knew at an early age what they want to do with their life. I have decided I wanted to be a designer. Since my early childhood I showed artistic talents, which led to my graduation summa cum laude from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana. I am a college graduate of Industrial design, with many years of working experience. Product design, graphic design, user interfaces, 3D artwork, animation: I have done it all. I am always looking for a new challenge that could interest my creative nerve, I am sure I can help you solve your creative problem! “Design is not only a job, it is much more; it is a way of life.”
