What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create visual identities, illustration, motion graphics, and animation for meaningful cultural, educational, digital, and commercial projects while collaborating with international creative teams.

I've delivered graphic and motion design projects for international clients since 2015, spanning arts and culture, technology, education, real estate, sports, hospitality, publishing, and entertainment.

For Moji App, I created more than 260 animated emoji assets in After Effects and delivered JSON/Lottie files for mobile integration. I've also built visual identities, logo animation, social content, and digital assets for clients including MASA UK ARTS, RicLuc, KODER, DIGICUBE, and Ohrid Trcat.

My work combines fine-art practice with digital design, 2D animation, illustration, and visual storytelling. I take projects from creative briefs and concepts through storyboards, production, and final delivery.

Alongside client work, I've developed educational materials, games, illustrations, animations, and workshops through Erasmus+ projects. I've also taught visual arts for more than 20 years, bringing traditional techniques, multimedia, animation, and visual communication into creative learning.
