Background

I started in journalism. Asked questions for a living, then wrote about what I found. Moved into copywriting — same instinct, different medium. Then I got curious about the products I was writing for and started learning to design them. That was ten years ago. Never looked back, occasionally look sideways.

Most of those ten years have been spent embedded in product teams through Serbia's top software consultancies — Feature Works, P3 Group, HTEC Group — doing senior IC and design lead work for enterprise clients including Apple, Siemens Gamesa, and Volkswagen Group. Complex, long-running engagements. Systems with real stakes.

The journalism career is mostly useful now for knowing which questions to ask before touching Figma. Also still makes music — guitar and voice, Father John Misty and Nick Cave territory. Same principle applies: cut everything that doesn't need to be there.

For HR & Recruiters

All work shown was completed as a contractor and delivered through and in collaboration with partner companies. I was embedded in larger product teams as design lead or senior designer, not working independently.

If you need further context for a specific engagement, I'm happy to discuss in a private conversation.
