EDUCATION
BA Film, University of Westminster
MA Animation, University of Arts London
I am a London-based Croatian animation director whose work celebrates the beauty of everyday life. I often incorporate elements of magical realism, always grounded in emotion, to convey how a moment feels rather than how it looks an approach inspired by Isao Takahata.
All my films are 2D animated, with aesthetics that evolve from minimal, detail-light styles to semi-realistic, storybook-inspired visuals. Across styles, I aim to create visually harmonious works that translate emotion through movement, colour, and digital brushwork.
My latest short, By a Thread (2025), reflects my philosophy of quality over quantity, showcasing storytelling and illustration in a single, immersive experience.
Ultimately, my work spotlights the overlooked beauty of daily life and invites audiences to pause, reflect, and rediscover meaning in the fleeting moments around them.
