My story
Once upon a time, there was a little girl, going on a trip with her family. They were in a car, listening to music and talking about places they must visit.
But the little girl didn’t pay attention to the conversation. She was always hooked on the big billboards that were passing by.
“This logo should be smaller. I don’t like this color. The picture doesn’t fit properly. I would like to change this font…”
I never knew why these thoughts always ran through my mind. I couldn’t understand how others could read catalogs without analyzing the colors, titles, graphics, and white spaces.
My imagination convinced me that all of this is made by robots and computers. I imagined that there were advanced robots and simple robots. Advanced robots made beautiful things and simple robots weren’t programmed to notice when something didn’t look as pretty as it should.
At the age of 13, I heard the term Graphic Designer, I discovered, that there were actual people behind these designs and found out that I can learn to become one of them. I found out that there is a whole new world to explore!
Since then, I live my story, which is not just about working on amazing design projects, but much more. It is an exchange of energy and well-being at the same time. I believe that each person carries a very special potential or more of them. The only difference is whether we live it or not, whether we are aware of it or not.
I have awakened my own consciousness to such an extent that I feel it and know its value. I am here for you to give what you need at a given moment. I am here to make your business reach its full potential.

About me
I am a passionate designer and entrepreneur.
I started working in the creative field at the age of 15.
Every project is a new opportunity for me to express my creativity. My biggest reward is a happy client.
I am always in the search of new challenges. During younger years I worked as a hostess, model, and as actress in Slovenian shows.
I own Hobby Horse Academy brand for girls interested in that sport (that’s mostly in Scandinavian countries).
I am also the founder of Dogsy Design, a brand specializing in creating beautiful websites, litter announcements, dog presentations, and any graphics related to the dog industry with a mission to raise brand awareness and digitalize the world of Dog Breeders.
I love giving back to the world, that’s why I volunteered at the Kennel Association of Slovenia, Young Dragons, and MEPI.
