C) HOW OLD ARE YOU? 30

D) YOUR SPHERE OF INTERESTS : Photography

E) STUDIES : Law in Ljubljana and Milano

F) COULD YOU PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT DO YOU DO/HAVE YOU DONE? : I studied law but I never felt like I wanted to be a classic lawyer working in a big firm and after my brother got very sick I kind of lost interest in law and started taking more more photos. I slowly began to learn about photography and art in general and now I am where I am. I help my boyfriend in his company called Musguard, I design leather drawstring backpacks and take lots of photos for other people and not so much for myself anymore. Things changed in couple of last years and right now I feel like I want to do something with law again.

G) 3 MASTERS : My dad because he’s super intelligent and wise. Srećko Horvat, young Croatian philosopher with brilliant mind. Erik Satie because he’s just genius.
