I always wanted to be an architect. But my career lead me first to economy, next to the building trade and finally to a design school, where I became a graduated interior designer.
I’m at the beginning of my designing studio. I would like to design similar products, for example: for animals, children or accessories for homes. Beside that i would like to work as an interior designer or as an architect for interiors. I like colours, vintage, softness, homeliness, practicality, this is my style.
Design is my life. I live to design and design is for my living. Design is when you can make better living, when you can invent lovely and practical things, when you think about better future.
My first project was in a design school. I designed a folding-constructing screen for children, which grows with a child and stimulates him growth and development. You can add or change different cardboard panels where there is an an alphabet, or firs words, colours, shapes or where they can learning foreign languages. You can also add a panel for playing theatre. Or choose nice coloured glass panels for normal use of folding screen
Outside in the nature, at night in my bed, while reading a book or drinking coffee. Practically all the time, thinking, designing, creating something new or re-designing.
First I see good qualities; I examine usage of materials and colours, a practicality of design. And also inspect a faultiness or defectiveness of a design. I respect a work of a designer, and I always try to understand his meaning of a design.
Yes, the design field is evolving. Maybe in Slovenia, a little slower than it should. Where the big corporations still doesn’t understand the meaning of a great design, and how it’s worth.
The future of designing is re-design, design with a few or nothing influence to environment.
Also today’s designing is not just to design a chair or accessories, but to design a service, whole concept of service, for example in a bank or insurance company.
My inspirations come from nature, surroundings, when I observe the patterns in nature. Also my inspirations come from the past, from our history. My dreams are sources of inspirations.
I live in countryside. I love rural simple life, I adore simple antiques.
Slovenia is too much closed for design and creation. We are still learning that design is something good that helps us at evolution, growth. Still not enough interest in a design and designing.
Some companies are still afraid of designers. They think the designers are artist’s dreamers. You need to make an effort to find a company who understand the necessity of a design and see the future in it.
Good designer is looking far in the future. Good designer is not seeking the obstacles, he sees goals and salvations. Good designer can design not just an object he can design a whole service for a company. A good designer has a good concept, besides thinking about the production and a good income for company, he can think about the users, about the environment...
My designing process is different from a project to a project. Mainly when I have an idea I’m developing it in my mind for few days. Then when an idea is enough developed I made a sketch, than a concept, with help of a different computer programs.
You can be creative; can play with materials and textures, improving interiors, bettering our lives. You can be productive; people need design, need changes and improvements. The only negative thing is that most people don’t appreciate design. It’s hard to find people or company who understand that behind a good design is a lot of thinking, hours, clicking, drawings, researches, compromises...
I’m trying to carry trough the realization of my awarded design to put it on market. And design more furniture for cats. Finished a folding-constructing screen for children which I’m designing. And of course advantage the golden award as much as possible.
I've always love nice things, smooth lines, minimalism, nature, animals, and always wanted things with purpose. So after my degree in economics, I’ve started working in building company, where I was daily meeting architect, clients, builders and noticed, that the clients are a little confused in knowing what they want, architect were mainly focused on looks of the building not so much practical view of living in this building….so I realized I would like to study Faculty of Design so I could help my clients. During my studies I started to uncover my design potentials and my love for designing.
I design all sorts of stuff, mainly business design, so I helped many clients with their start-ups, or refreshed business, and if there is any time left I design accessories for kids and pets.
To deliver a good design is a hard process, takes time, energy, lot of sleepless nights, emotional ups and downs, so it’s hard to value all this energy which was invested in any design.
Uf, I have a lot of my design sketches in my table draw, but if I had a magic stick and time travel machine I would love to spend some time with my best designer and architect Zaha Hadid.
Design is way of living, effective struggling everyday problems is a good design. You design the way of living every day, how you’ll clear your desk, tidy your room, organize a trip, all this is design
