Bio

Born in a small Croatian town with big dreams and even bigger guts (or so I like to convince myself when I'm anxious). Years of grit, perseverance, and countless moments of frustration (often involving banging my head against the keyboard) have helped me grow stronger, more resilient, and continually improve with each project. If you can't find me working, I'm probably out on an adventure, attending an event, or participating in philanthropy.

Approach

I've always had a knack for creativity and problem-solving, from childhood to today. Photography is my freedom—it can be done anywhere, anytime, and it speaks volumes about perception. Development suits my drive for constant problem-solving, a trait some might call my fatal flaw. I believe in blending creativity with technical precision to build meaningful solutions. Though this is just the beginning, I'm excited for the many mountains—both metaphorical and literal—that I still have to climb.
