I am a design strategist currently lost in Shanghai.

That moment that moves you to utter happiness, as you realise how well life is treating you. Starts with an inkling and bursts out within minutes, making you smile all over your face. What I do then is turn on loud music and dance without any control; that is the moment where I celebrate life!!

Cooking, beautiful people (here I prefer inner beauty), the smell of nature, contrasts; I can’t think of anything which doesn’t inspire me, as it is not about what you see, feel or taste but how you perceive it....

Energetic, walking on the sunny side of life, positive, gentle, outgoing, inspiring.

Wonderland, Colourful, Contrasts, Curiosity, Challenge

Paulo Coelho (esp.: ‘the Alchemist’, ‘Eleven Minutes’), ‘IQ84’ by Haruki Murakami, I appreciate every work of Hermann Hesse but ‘Narcissus and Goldmund’ is my favourite, I love authors who give me a different angle to look at some things and magazines that tickle the brain and inspire, such as: brand eins, Novum, SZ Magazin, Vogue, Jalouse. Monocle, Fast Company, Harward Business Review, The Economist, medium.com, Business Punk, Die Zeit and currently literature related to service systems, psychology, innovation and digital user experience.

Tim Burton is one of my favourite directors. ‘Big Fish’ and ‘Alice in Wonderland’ reflect the way I want to see the world, Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s ‘Amèlie’, some of Woody Allen’s movies, ‘The Lives of Others’ (one of the best movies I’ve ever seen).

Dalai Lama.

Stockholm, Barcelona, Sarajevo, London, New York, Berlin, Siena, Munich, Istanbul, Japan (searching for beauty in Kyoto), Italy (I want to eat all the food in the South), UK (London is always a fantastic idea), Croatia (my home).

‘Happiness is a choice in life’ and ‘What goes around comes around’.

Weekender.

I am passionate and infinitely curious.

a matter of perception.
