I am a freelance illustrator based in Slovenia.

I studied design and textile materials.

Under the mentorship of Assoc. Prof. Vojmir Pogačar, acad. painter, I completed my master's thesis titled “A Concept of the Fabric Picture Book,” for which I received the Slovenian National Design Award.

During my studies and afterwards, I attended various art courses, including painting, linocut, drypoint, Japanese woodcut, kitchen lithography, and creative writing.

I furthered my education through courses in Children’s Picture Book Illustration and Developing Children’s Picture Books at the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration. I also benefited from monthly online mentoring sessions with educator, author, and illustrator Claire Alexander.

I regularly attend webinars, online classes, and industry events to stay engaged and inspired.
