I've been fascinated by stories for as long as I can recall. My parents are originally from Bosnia and fled to Austria during the war. Although they couldn't bring many possessions with them, they managed to bring a box full of pictures. I remember how I would carefully examine these pictures and imagine the stories behind them. The beginning of me telling stories so to say …

Following my journalistic pursuits at VICE, I made a deliberate choice to immerse myself in diverse creative agencies across Berlin, including Fvf, Dept, and Granny, collaborating on projects for notable clients such as Netflix, Bumble, Disney+, and more. This transition has profoundly shaped my strategic acumen, elevated my creative execution, and deepened my appreciation for collaborative teamwork.

I embarked on my journalism journey fueled by a deep fascination with the narratives of reality. Through my studies, I not only honed my skills in crafting written stories but also acquired the ability to capture them visually. I'm immensely grateful for this multifaceted skill set, as it grants me various avenues through which to convey a story's essence.
