I reduce emotional friction around sensitive topics, helping audiences engage without feeling overwhelmed, judged, or exposed. Best compliment that I received from a customer:
'My mum who is a therapist has your illustration on the wall in her office. She said that it's been helpful to many patients to express themselves in their sessions'.

In BetweenIn Between marks the beginning of one of my most personal and ambitious projects to date. Inspired by the concept of the third space, it explores what it means to exist between two places—both emotionally and geographically.The work draws from the ongoing migration crisis in my home country and the complex feeling of loving it from afar.Through drawing, painting, and writing, I reflect on belonging, displacement, and the quiet strength it takes to stay connected to a place that is both home and memory.

Mental health and psychology communication requires care, continuity, and trust.
I work with publications, clinics, and wellness platforms as a long-term visual partner—supporting ongoing content, campaigns, and evolving visual systems. Rather than creating isolated illustrations, I help organizations build visual languages that reduce emotional friction and allow complex psychological topics to be communicated safely over time.

How can I help you as your visual partner?
• Ongoing editorial illustrations for articles or columns
• Visual systems for mental health campaigns or awareness initiatives
• Illustration support for apps, platforms, or educational tools
• Conceptual development for sensitive topics
• Visual continuity across print, web, and social platforms
• Gentle evolution of existing visual identities without full rebrands

Dealing with anorexia,
Illustrations and design of a guide - ongoing projectCommissioned by Psychiatry department for children and adolescents in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

TimeIn my project inspired by the concept of time,
I explore the relentless deadline culture of modern society that perpetually forces us to rush.
Through a series of dynamic and chaotic visuals, I depict how this incessant pressure can lead to overwhelming anxiety and a disconnection from the present moment. Each piece is a commentary on the need to reclaim our time and find balance amidst the haste.
