About
Living, playing and creating in Zagreb.
I’ve been bringing design to humans and humans to design for over twenty years.
I’m a UX/UI and product designer focused on sales force automation, CRM, back-office systems and iGaming platform. With many years behind me, I can modestly say I know a thing or two about digital marketing and front-end development too.

Product Designer
Monotech Solutions Ltd.
- Designed the player experience for live casino, Plinko and sportsbook.
- Built the design system from scratch, based on Atomic Design, and kept it organized as the product grew.

- Tracked how features landed with players and used what I learned to push for better design decisions.
- Ran workshops that got product, engineering and design on the same page.

2020 - 2024
Product Designer
SonoIT Ltd.
- Worked on B2C mobile apps customers used every day, and the internal tools that kept the operation running.
- Turned dense back-office workflows into screens operators could figure out on their own.
- Merged CRM, customer support and the call center into a single platform, so agents could help people instead of juggling tools.

2010 - 2020
IDB Mobile Technology Ltd.

Design Team Lead
2013 - 2020
- Led a team of four designers across several product streams.
- Set up design processes where there were none, so the team had a repeatable way to handle responsive web and admin work.
- Designed back-office systems that had to work at scale. The operators using them couldn’t afford confusion under pressure.
- Worked closely with the CEO and HR on hiring designers, team structure and performance reporting.
- Onboarded new designers and ran design thinking workshops for the wider team.

Senior UI Designer
2010 - 2013
- Owned the whole design process, user flows and final visuals included.

2008 - 2010
UI Designer & Front-End Developer
Art Revolt Ltd.
- Design and front-end were one role here, so I saw products through from concept to release.
- Wrote front-end code in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, so I knew the real constraints and could work with developers as an equal.
- Doing both made handoffs faster and cut down the back-and-forth.
-
2004 - 2008
Content Manager & Digital Designer
Human Interaction - Burza Ltd.
- Started out in digital content and campaign production, where I learned to communicate visually across formats.
- Did motion, banners, email and social content. It gave me a broad base before I moved into product.
- Took campaigns from brief to final delivery, so I got used to thinking about the whole thing early on.
