About

I help SaaS founders and product teams design products that feel effortless to use - and impossible to abandon. My work sits at the intersection of UX strategy, product thinking, and design psychology, with a heavy focus on clarity, simplicity, and user behavior.I’m especially passionate about turning messy, complex ideas into clean, intuitive systems that scale. Whether it’s fixing onboarding friction, shaping an MVP, or building a design system from scratch, my goal is always the same: reduce cognitive load, speed up delivery, and make the product feel smart, not complicated.I’ve led design for early-stage startups, scaling SaaS teams, AI platforms, and enterprise products - partnering closely with product and engineering to bring structure, speed, and a user-centered mindset to the entire build process. A few highlights: • Recognized by Clutch 2025 as the Top UX Design Agency in Croatia • Also awarded Top UX Design Agency in Serbia 2025 • Built scalable design systems that keep teams consistent and faster • Supported AI, data, and enterprise products with deep UX challenges If you’re building a SaaS product and want a partner who thinks beyond pretty screens - someone who understands business goals, user behavior, and the realities of shipping - that’s exactly what I do.Happy to connect, chat product, or jump into solving something real.
