Architect, set designer and creative. I design spaces with purpose and usability in mind with a pinch of artistic imagination.
How did I get here?
My career started with the study of architecture at the University of Ljubljana. At the time, I worked in several architectural offices where I learned about interior design and building renovations.
My practice and fast-paced mind led me to Berlin where I met an amazing person and architect Caroline Borel, who was also my mentor while I worked on a competition for Wolfsburg. She taught me an important lesson, the power of I don’t know, because we continue to learn every day, at work or in our private lives.
After graduating, I worked in Amsterdam with artist Gabriel Lester on public sculptures, storyboards and festival installations. He showed me the possibility to produce quick but powerful solutions through many of our projects.
My love of learning and curiosity led me to develop my other passion of scenography as an assistant production designer and designer in commercials and series (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Pakt media, Bas production, Falcon, etc.). The work in set design and film production is an opportunity for me to use new techniques, unusual materials and to showcase innovative concepts.
Today I mix both worlds. My work in architecture focuses on residential space and interior design while I've also develop new 3D skills in Blender. Occasionally I still work on sets where my architectural knowledge improves the final product.
This interdisciplinary approach together with creativity helps me find new solutions and improvements in every new area of work.
All projects on my website are the result of collaborations with amazing teams and people for which I'm very thankful.
