I was born in 1990 in Maribor, Slovenia. In 2014, I finished my BA in Graphic design at the Academy of Fine arts and Design (ALUO) in Ljubljana, Slovenia with the theme: Interpreting Chaotic Structures in Graphic Design. I continued with the Master studies at the same faculty and I am currently working on my thesis on the Masters programme. The primary focus of my work is graphic design, but my professional and personal interest also lies in illustration, video production, multimedia, visual and conceptual art. So in parallel with my professional work I try create more conceptual, social projects which sometimes blend the lines between experimental design and multimedia. These works reflect different themes of research and interests such as: digital culture, the internet, science fiction; futurism, tribalism and popular culture. I have been Art Director of the renowned student newspaper Tribuna, awarded with Brumen Award for newspaper design at the Brumen 2015. I am also one of the founders of the freštreš collective, which produces magazines and art installations. We have exhibited their work at important venues as Centre of Urban Culture Kino Šiška, Gallery GT22, Poligon as well as festivals like Magdalena, DanD in Zagreb and Brumen in Ljubljana. I am also the co-founder and designer of the culture & art society KOMBAJN. Which produces varius events, exhibitions and festivals in the Slovenian cultural sphere. I had individual exhibitions of my work in such institutions as II. Gimnazija gallery, Kino Šiška, Kurilnica; ALUO and also group exhibitions in Multimedia Centre Kibla, the National Gallery, Museum of Modern Art Ljubljana, International Centre of Graphics and Art, Ljubljana, Out to See Festival; New York...
