• • • I finished The School of Applied Arts, Rijeka, Croatia - sculpture design and have a BA in fashion design from Textile technology collage in Zagreb, Croatia with my diploma work Forms of clothing as body extensions.

• • • Inspired by tiny traces of action, murmurs of change, growth and decay, I create subtle allusions, forms that seem to develop through centuries of wearing and rubbing - objects that are difficult to position in time.

Attracted by a harsh aesthetic of visible structure and inspired by the process that happens beneath the form, while creating jewels I play with different design structures.

My works contain an aspiration to move, change - and the attention is focused to the mere process of creation.

I am strongly influenced by seeing the world as a web of connections and interactions, the attraction towards biology and simple organisms and the ability of organisms to grow and organize their own housings so to say, their own shells, skins and ornaments their own fashion.

I'm interested in the wonders of the human psyche, sculpture and the touch sensation, light and its wonders, and computer technologies - building interactions...

I am thriving to integrate all that aspects into my works. Seeing adornment as an interesting part of human behaviour with its deep roots in our thriving to extend ourselves into the environment. Seeing adornment as art, an expression of our souls but also as everyday life... design and its servings to our comfort. Learning and being inspired by life in its many forms. Understanding the human thrive to interact communicate and transform.
