Where strategy
meets creativity!


ABOUT ME


I am a communications professional with over 15 years of experience and success in strategic communications and advocacy, reputation management, marketing, public and media relations. As an efficient and innovative communicator who informs and unifies teams and organizations, I balance multiple responsibilities and work effectively in fast-paced and challenging environments, while guiding the strategic and creative process from start to finish. Over the course of my career, I’ve managed complex projects and portfolios internationally, both within the public and private sectors, including leadership of external communications for two dozen UN agencies and global financial institutions in Serbia. I have extensive experience with the development of corporate identities and brands, leading marketing and creative teams and the successful execution of traditional and social media campaigns. I am also well known for my in depth reporting skills and the original use of audio, video and motion graphics to create compelling stories.

MY SERVICES


STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS

I collaborate with each organization and company to understand their goals and needs, and develop innovative strategies that will enable my clients to increase their visibility, communicate effectively with the public and establish meaningful partnerships.

BRANDING & GRAPHIC DESIGN

Together with each client I work to tailor the brand in line with the type of services they provide or to a specific product. I aim to develop brands that can clearly convey the message, confirm credibility and assert uniqueness. I also use my graphic design skills to further support a client in developing all types and formats of marketing and outreach tools.

MARKETING

My portfolio spans the entire continuum of client needs, beginning with strategy and planning, content creation, outreach and public relations, digital marketing, management and maintenance of social media outlets. Throughout my career, I have built networks and relationships with the media to increase my client’s visibility and to ensure product exposure.

PHOTOGRAPHY

My career has provided me with the opportunity to work internationally and use photography to capture some of the most extraordinary places and human stories. I spent a great deal of time as a photographer in humanitarian aid and development, but I’ve also worked in a number of other fields, including the fashion, sports, and commercial sectors.

VIDEO PRODUCTION

The range of content and style of videos I create is broad. But my focus stays the same – to tell exciting stories by using audio, video and motion graphics. For much of my career, I have made videos that demystify complex development topics and inspire audiences to take action, and I have done the same with commercial videography, music videos, and interviews.

MUSIC PRODUCTION

I produce and record original music and sound bites to meet the marketing and product needs of my clients, including soundtracks, albums, and thematic music for video games and corporate entities.
