I'm a designer with a scientific background, who enjoyes 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 29.84 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.
My career so far is a mix of early-stage startups, design agencies, and corporate fintech companies.
