Notable project work includes the SIP mobile catalog application, the Ecocell heating-system product design for Aurora Global, the Butanoga custom-shoe website, Olympic Committee of Slovenia mascot and educational-center branding, and recurring annual reports and calendars for major Slovenian enterprises such as Krka, Merkur, and Modra zavarovalnica.
