Creating memorable brand experiences

I developed an interest in art at an early age, making every available surface a canvas (including my grandparents’ wallpaper). My love for art took me to the Interior Design Program at the School of Applied Arts and Design in my hometown of Zagreb, Croatia. After high school, I attended the Faculty of Graphic Arts at the University of Zagreb, majoring in Graphic Product Design. Upon graduation, I received a Masters of Engineering in Graphic Technology. Today I’m the Co-Founder & Creative Director at Polka Dot Beaver.

Throughout my years studying Interior and Graphic Design, I learned how aesthetics and function work hand-in-hand. Similarly, design influences advancements in various technologies and vice versa, and for that reason, I don’t shy away from coding or innovative technology.

I am passionate about my work, and I strive for excellence and craftsmanship. I like to deep dive into projects to find the best possible design solutions. The moments I cherish the most from my 15+ years of professional experience are seeing the excitement and joy my clients experience when they see their visions come to life.

In my free time (as the mother of two children, free time is a luxury!), you can find me holding paint brushes covered with watercolour and gouache. Check out some of my artwork on Instagram.
