I'm a designer with a scientific background, who enjoys building random whimsical things.

My approach to design is not just about solving problems for people through software, but also about the care, attention to detail, and craftsmanship I bring to each project. I enjoy exploring hundreds of ideas to find the right one, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, and building things that have never been built before.

I'm a years old, originally from Zagreb, Croatia, but currently living in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, with my partner Rafaela and our dog, Xenon.

I hold a master's degree in Chemistry from the University of Zagreb. Since people often ask about my transition from chemistry to design, I wrote a detailed post about it.

• Preparing for Goethe-Zertifikat B2 Deutschprüfung
• exploring Animations on the web
• raising a miniature Schnauzer

I've always tried to keep a few hobbies going because they let you meet all kinds of people, expand your horizons, and have cool experiences.

Cycling

Started wearing tight jerseys, lost few kilos, and made some Strava friends along the way.

There are so many talented and interesting people I'd love to meet IRL. Here's my current list, which I update regularly.

I try to be mindful of how I use social media. I used to be pretty active on Twitter, but these days I’ve been spending more time on Mastodon. I also have LinkedIn, but I mostly keep it for networking and don’t use it much.

• Mastodon: tl@mastodon.design
