A little bit about myself

Hey there! I'm Jana, a Swedish-born designer currently calling Croatia home. My journey into design wasn’t exactly traditional — I started out as a registered nurse, which gave me a deep appreciation for human needs, problem-solving, and empathy. But my creative side kept pulling me in another direction, leading me to the world of product design.

Beyond design, I’ve always had a passion for music and have played the piano since I can remember. When I was younger, I was all about tennis, competing in tournaments and spending countless hours on the court. These days, my energy goes into exploring new places - I have spent the past few years traveling the world and living in different countries, embracing the local culture, people and climate along the way.

I thrive on creativity, whether it's painting, pottery, or tackling design projects. If it's hands-on, I'm in!
