What I'm looking for

I'm interested in opportunities within international organizations where design thinking, visual communication, creativity, project development and collaboration intersect.

At Academy of Applied Studies Novi Sad, I conduct practical classes in graphic design and guide students through concept development and design projects. I connect design fundamentals with practical applications, offering feedback on typography, composition, visual hierarchy and execution.

As a freelance interior designer, I develop residential and commercial projects from concept and space planning through implementation. My work has included hospitality and entertainment venues, and I coordinate with clients, contractors and suppliers. I also founded Urban White — Design, Interiors & Visual Culture, an independent platform where I create and curate editorial content.
