I respect and enjoy creative expression, aesthetics, harmony and humour. I am dedicated to practising and teaching the old Chinese martial arts, love to fly planes, ski, play tennis, used to ride horses and can’t imagine life without music. I come from Ljubljana and have travelled a lot since a young age.
Besides outstanding ideas I am attracted to unexpected turns in the stories of Roald Dahl, Ray Bradbury, adore Monty Python and Kung Fu Panda.
My creative work has been winning the hearts of clients and juries (New York Festivals, Epica, Cresta, Adprint, Golden Drum, IABC Gold Quill, SOF, Sempl, Brumen, Magdalena, and more). I've been a member of juries at international advertising festivals (New York Festivals, Golden Drum).
