Bio
Rođena sam tvrdoglava 17.05.1990. u Rijeci gdje i danas živim sa sinom i dugogodišnjim partnerom.
Tijekom karijere skupila sam preko 15 godina iskustva na poslovima marketinga, grafičkog dizajna i animacije u marketinškim agencijama. Dugogodišnja sam udžbenička ilustratorica, a od 2023. godine djelujem unutar vlastitog obrta Studio Crta specijaliziranog za dizajn i ilustraciju kroz koji surađujem s brojnim klijentima u Hrvatskoj i izvan nje.
Osim što ih ilustriram, tri sam slikovnice i napisala:
Kako biti najjači? (2023.)
Kamo ćemo večeras? (2024.)
Neočekivan posjet (2025.)
Za svoj rad nagrađena sam Nagradom “Ovca u kutiji" za najbolju hrvatsku slikovnicu 2024. godine (Kamo ćemo večeras?), te Nagradom Primorsko-goranske županije za unapređenje kvalitete kulturnog stvaralaštva za 2024. godinu.
Svoj ilustratorski rad predstavila sam kroz samostalne i skupne izložbe. Prva samostalna izložba ilustracija Kako biti najjači? održala se u Knjižnici Vladimira Nazora u Zagrebu (2023.). Potom je uslijedila samostalna izložba ilustracija iz slikovnice Kamo ćemo večeras u Dječjoj kući, centar kulture i umjetnosti za djecu, Art-kvart Benčić u Rijeci (travanj 2025.) te u Knjižnici Vladimira Nazora (rujan 2025.).
Među recentnijim prilikama koje su obogatile moj rad bio je odabir na natječaju i sudjelovanje na dvotjednoj ilustratorskoj rezidenciji u Hvaru, podržanoj od strane Ministarstva kulture i medija.
U svom daljnjem radu nastojim stvarati sadržaj koji njeguje maštu, ali i emocionalnu inteligenciju djece i mladih, te razvijati projekte koji spajaju umjetnost, dizajn i priču.

I was born stubborn on May 17, 1990, in Rijeka, where I still live today with my son and long-term partner.
Over the course of my career, I have gathered more than 15 years of experience in marketing, graphic design, and animation, working in marketing agencies. I have been illustrating school textbooks for many years, and since 2023 I have been running my own creative studio, Studio Crta, specializing in design and illustration, through which I collaborate with numerous clients in Croatia and abroad.
In addition to illustrating picture books, I have also written three of my own:
How to Be the Strongest? (2023)
Where Are We Going Tonight? (2024)
An Unexpected Visit (2025)
For my work, I was awarded the “Ovca u kutiji” Award for the best Croatian picture book in 2024 (Where Are We Going Tonight?), as well as the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County Award for advancing the quality of cultural creativity (2024).
I have presented my illustration work through solo and group exhibitions. My first solo exhibition, How to Be the Strongest?, was held at the Vladimir Nazor Library in Zagreb in 2023. This was followed by solo exhibitions of illustrations from Where Are We Going Tonight? at the Children’s House, a center for culture and art for children in Art-kvart Benčić, Rijeka (April 2025), and at the Vladimir Nazor Library in Zagreb (September 2025).
Among the more recent opportunities that enriched my work was being selected for and participating in a two-week illustration residency in Hvar, supported by the Croatian Ministry of Culture and Media.
In my future work, I strive to create content that nurtures imagination as well as the emotional intelligence of children and young people, while developing projects that connect art, design, and storytelling.
