I am a graphic designer from Croatia. I welcome projects that challenge my skills and expand my knowledge. I am always working on something!

Busy mind is a creative mind, because out of thousand ideas that go through my head, there is always one that makes me jump out of my seat and think: "That would be interesting thing to do."

The journey with the jewelry making began spontaneously as all things do. It was 2011, I graduted from college, unemployed and looking for something to do. The first pieces weren't so great, but I began to explore the territory, mixing colors, patterns and ideas.

I was given a sense of freedom from anxiety. The brush felt so familiar, the clay in my hands "melted" like butter. It was truly a love at first sight. I knew it would never be the same and I couldn't go back. The box was opened.

Now, only 3 years later, I started to develope my own style mixing wood, clay and colored stone-like mixture together to create unique pieces.
