Lecture Barcelona ADC*E
Fear in creative process is the thing nobody names out loud in a brief. We named it — on stage at ADC*E Barcelona, where we were selected as one of ten most promising creatives in Europe. What follows is the argument we made: that fear isn’t a blocker, it’s a signal worth reading in the fear in creative process.
I was selected by the Art Directors Club of Europe, among 10 celebrated creatives of Europe, to give a lecture at Europe’s 1st European Creativity Festival in Barcelona.



Although I love to lecture, It is still scary to stand in front of a huge crowd this time at beautiful Desiny Barcelona, trying to deliver your personal story to the audience.
I decided to talk about my inner fear. I talked about how fear gives me boundaries, and boundaries are the essence of my creativity. How to use fear to build a solution that is different, adaptive, and focused How to be bold, how to win, and how not to fail
One of the reasons I lecture is because of fear. And no, not to face fear; I learned to recognize and embrace it…

Work For Free
Designers work for free more often than the industry admits — and we've done it ourselves, deliberately, with criteria. The question isn't whether it devalues your work. The question is whether you set the terms or someone else did. We've spent two decades deciding which projects earn our time without a brief, a budget, or a contract.
Logo Design vs Brand Identity: What’s the Difference?
Logo design vs brand identity — we get asked to explain the difference on almost every first client call. A logo is a mark. A brand identity is the entire system that gives that mark meaning across every surface it touches. We've spent twenty years building both, and the gap between them is where most projects either hold together or fall apart.
I’ve seen inspiration exploding to space
Creative inspiration process isn't something we manage — it's something we survive. The ideas that actually change a project don't arrive through briefs or brainstorms. They detonate. Understanding where ideas come from in design means accepting that the creative inspiration process runs on its own schedule, not yours.
Why Branding and Web Design Must Be Aligned
Branding and web design alignment fails the moment two separate teams touch the same project without talking to each other. We've watched it happen — a considered identity system lands on a site that treats it like decoration. Branding and web design alignment means the strategy that shapes the mark also shapes the architecture, the copy rhythm, the interaction logic.
Vibe coding
Vibe coding design is not a shortcut — it's a discipline we've been practising long before anyone named it. We let visual instinct drive technical decisions, the same way we've approached every identity and interface since 2004. When feel and function collapse into a single gesture, that's vibe coding design working as it should.
How to Choose a Branding Studio in Slovenia
Branding studio Slovenia searches return directories. What they don't return is honest criteria for judgment. We've been on the other side of that decision since 2004 — chosen, passed over, and occasionally the reason a client finally understood what they were actually looking for in a branding studio Slovenia partner.
Sometimes we all need a little push
Need a little push before you can finally commit to a branding project? We've heard that hesitation hundreds of times — and it rarely has anything to do with budget. After 20 years and 81 logos, we've learned that the thing holding most businesses back isn't readiness. It's the wrong idea of what readiness looks like. Sometimes all it takes is someone telling you: you're closer than you think.
There Is Only One Right Way to Publicly Commission Design
Public design commissioning is not a matter of preference — there is a right way and everything else. We've worked through enough flawed briefs, misaligned procurement structures, and well-meaning but broken processes to know exactly where the public commissioning of design goes wrong, and what it looks like when it doesn't.
