Here are a few impressions from this year’s Zagreb Design Week!

I’m very grateful to have been selected as a finalist with 4 (!!!) of my projects and for the opportunity to showcase my work alongside so many other creative minds.

The exhibition offered just a glimpse of each project, so I’m looking forward to sharing full projects with you SOON on my (NEW!😉) website. Stay tuned! 🤍

One month ago, I was selected as a finalist at Zagreb Design Award with two projects who were also featured in Marketing Magazine 🚀 @marketingmagazin

Freelancing means being your own boss and cheerleader for most of the time. That's why I really appreciate it to feel seen by the design community once in a while ☺️ @zagrebdesignweek

Thank you for the photos @salomeffs ❤️

✨ Since I can remember, I’ve been a huge fan of @tvambienti — the first Slovenian TV show dedicated to home design. And a few weeks ago, I got a message that left me speechless: they wanted to feature my apartment! 😍

It’s such an honor and honestly a dream come true. 🏡💫

There are now two articles up on their website — one about the furniture I designed, and the other about the full apartment renovation. You can find both linked in my stories!

Big thanks to: @studiotrinajst for writing such lovely articles!! They made my day 🫶
