Ljubljana to do
Ljubljana is a small, beautiful, and walkable city where everything unfolds at a human pace. This is my short list of what’s a must if you’re here for a day or two — from the riverside stroll along the Ljubljanica, to the layered architecture shaped by Jože Plečnik, to the mix of cafés, galleries, and hidden courtyards that reward slow exploration. It’s not about rushing between landmarks, but about taking time to notice the details that make the city quietly unique.
Where I go for a coffee:
Črno zrno
Tiny, almost hidden. Coffee as ritual, not product. Minimal space, maximum focus — you go here to reset your senses.
Cafetino
More classic and layered. A place to sit longer, observe people, and feel the city’s rhythm.
What you don’t wanrt to miss:
Tiporenesansa
A working letterpress studio. Pure tactile design — ink, paper, craft. A reminder of where typography comes from.
Cukrarna
Contemporary art in a raw industrial shell. Big, quiet, and spatially powerful — more about atmosphere than objects.
Ljubljana Castle
Not just a landmark — a viewpoint to understand the city’s scale and structure.
Gornji trg
One of the most beautiful streets. Slow, historic, almost cinematic — details everywhere. And my studio is there.
Center Rog
New creative hub. Makers, labs, exhibitions — where contemporary Ljubljana experiments.
Where we go for a beer:
Tozd
Hybrid café/bar. Relaxed, slightly rough around the edges — creative crowd, no pressure.
Beli Volk
Natural wine, intimate vibe. Feels like a secret you share with a few people.
Lajbah
Craft beer spot with a local pulse. Social, unpretentious, always alive.
Daktari
A bit eclectic, a bit nostalgic. Music, atmosphere, and a slightly chaotic charm.
Some really good food:
Veganika
Playful vegan comfort food. Bright, casual, and surprisingly indulgent.
Maha
Calm, mindful, almost spiritual approach to food. Slow eating, clean ingredients.
Breg
Right by the river. A balance of location and solid cuisine — easy, reliable.
Moji Štruklji Slovenije
Traditional Slovenian dish done right. Simple, authentic, rooted.
Gostilnica 5–6 kg
More contemporary, slightly elevated. Good example of modern local dining.
A little bit of shopping:
Oliviers & Co
For ingredients — olive oils, flavors, sensory details. Design through taste.
Gud Shop
Curated Slovenian design objects. A small window into the local creative scene.
Probably I forgot something and will add it later. Feel free to remind me 🙂

Why Making by Hand Still Matters in the Age of AI
Handmade design process preserves the direct relationship between thought and form that digital tools often eliminate. In an era where AI generates endless variations instantly, the handmade design process introduces deliberate imperfection and human presence that resonates deeper than technical precision.
Ai killed the lorem ipsum
AI generated content design has fundamentally shifted how we approach dummy text in layouts. The rise of algorithm-created content forces designers to reconsider whether ai generated content design represents creative evolution or the end of originality in our field.
Passion
Passion vs dedication in design represents a fundamental choice every creative professional must make. While the design industry celebrates emotional attachment to work, true craft demands the controlled commitment that only dedication provides. This distinction shapes how we serve clients and approach our creative process.
Team 2 team
Team to team design collaboration is fundamentally changing how creative studios work with clients. This shift from B2B to H2H to T2T represents more than terminology—it's about recognizing that great design emerges from collective effort rather than individual brilliance.
The Gap
Midva represents the critical middle layer that's vanishing from design studios across Slovenia and beyond. The gap between junior and senior designers has become a chasm, leaving no space for proper mentorship and craft development. This midva phenomenon threatens the very foundation of how design knowledge transfers between generations.
Why Branding and Web Design Must Be Aligned
Branding web design alignment determines whether your digital presence builds trust or creates confusion. When brand strategy and web design work together, they deliver consistent experiences that reinforce your message at every touchpoint.
Do What You Don’t Know
Creative risk taking in design is what separates true creators from skilled repeaters. Experience teaches us efficiency, but creative risk taking in design demands we abandon what we know and venture into uncomfortable territory where genuine innovation lives.
Time
Creative fear in design isn't a weakness—it's proof you're creating something real. After 25 years building brands, the most honest truth I've learned is that creative fear in design separates true innovation from comfortable repetition. When you know exactly what you're doing, you're not creating anymore.
