About

Originally from Serbia, I now call Chicago, Illinois, home. My career has been an exciting journey through different fields, each one shaping my skills and helping me grow. I spent eight years as an administrative assistant, sharpening my organizational skills and attention to detail. Before that, I worked for seven years as a journalist in Serbia, driven by my love for storytelling and connecting with people.

Over time, my career path led me to discover my true passion: UX design. I graduated from the UX Designlab Academy and gained expertise in UX research, interaction design, user testing, prototyping, and user interface design. I love solving problems and creating user-focused, functional, and visually appealing designs. UX design has become my creative outlet, allowing me to blend my storytelling background with empathy to craft meaningful and impactful user experiences.

As a Lead UX/UI Designer at Sports Excitement, I work closely with product owners, designers, and developers to create intuitive, user-centered interfaces for a career advancement platform. From concept to delivery, I ensure every design aligns with user needs and business goals.
Previously, I spent three years with Boki Creative, designing the user experience for an end-to-end rental and building management platform.

This journey not only highlights my adaptability but also reflects my drive to explore new ways to connect with and serve others. I draw on my diverse experiences to approach every project with care, creativity, and precision. My story is a unique blend of structure, empathy, and design—a combination I’m proud to bring to every new challenge and opportunity.
