I’m a creative with an environmental background that will make you fall in love with your own biology and your place in the universe, as I see it.
I got here by failing a biology class.
I was a creative kid who wrote books in her spare time and didn't believe in studying. Naturally I failed a biology class by a strict teacher, who offered the class another chance at a grade if we attended a biology competition. I made it from the local to the national level, and as I sat at the university hall of the biotechnical faculty, the dean greeted us with "welcome to the best minds in biology and our future students". At first I laughed because I was only there by chance. But as annoyed peers looked at me, I knew it… I will study here.
Next year I enrolled as a landscape architecture student.
Landscape architecture gave me two things: lectures on ecology that shaped my worldview of interconnection, and the discipline of drawing plans by hand — where everything on the page has a meaning and nothing is purely decorative. I use this framework for my own creative expression.
I developed a relationship with every place I lived in and every language I lived within. I was brought up between the Alps and the Mediterranean, but spent my twenties abroad — in Sweden, South Korea and then mostly in Berlin, my second home. I now live in Bled, Slovenia.
