'I started this series with a deeply personal topic, angry at systems that fail to support young generations, at the loss of cultural and personal connections caused by migration - which turned into a research-based body of work exploring belonging, the emotional experience of building a future elsewhere, and what is left behind.'

'Rooted in personal experience and the realities of a young generation leaving the Balkans, the project looks beyond migration as physical movement to explore what remains after departure: memory, longing, fractured identities, empty homes, and changing communities. It also reflects the quieter consequences of migration—your children learning a foreign language before your mother tongue, traditions becoming distant, and a sense of home slowly shifting between places.'

In Between is an ongoing art collection exploring the feeling of the in-between-ness, especially the emotional experience of liminality (living between places, cultures, and identities). Through paintings, ceramics, and visual narratives, the collection transforms invisible emotional landscapes into artworks that invite awareness, recognition, and connection.

Mental health and psychology communication requires care, continuity, and trust.
I work with clients as a long-term visual partner—who don’t need illustrations that just look nice, but need visuals that help people engage without feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or shut down. I partner with organizations or individuals who want a visual language that stays consistent, empathetic, and responsive over time.

Renegotiating Time — A speculative visual identity system developed for NGOs, advocacy campaigns, and public-interest podcasts addressing time management, societal pressure, and productivity norms. A visual module exploring internal time pressure, designed for editorial headers, report spreads, and conference banners.

Treatment of Anorexia Nervosa in Adolescents and Children - A visual language that avoids triggering metaphorical imagery and supports ongoing educational materials and events, for the Psychiatric Clinic in Ljubljana. The system reframes the eating disorders through metaphor and experience, avoiding triggering images and offering multiple entry points for audiences over time.

This kind of communication isn’t a one-off event — it’s an ongoing conversation. Every article, campaign, social post, or educational material shapes how people feel about themselves and their experiences.Partnering long-term means building visual continuity that:
• Reduces emotional friction
• Supports audience trust and retention
• Prevents misinterpretation or triggering imagery
• Grows thoughtfully with your voice and goals

• Monthly or quarterly illustration support or ongoing editorial or column partnerships

• Campaign-based collaborations with future extensions and conceptual development for sensitive topics

• Visual continuity across print, web, and social platforms and evolution of existing visual identities without full rebrands

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.

''New year, old me.'

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.
