ABOUT ME

With over 20 years of experience in the cultural and creative sectors, I specialize in social innovation, public space regeneration, and building sustainable creative ecosystems.

My expertise includes stakeholder engagement, strategy development, participatory design, and the implementation of transformative cultural programs.

I have provided consultancy for major actors in these fields such as the United Nations Development Programme, the European Cultural Foundation, and the French Ministry of Territorial Cohesion.

As Director of Strategic Development and Programs at Ljubljana’s Center Rog, I led the creation of one of Europe’s largest hubs for sustainable design and manufacturing, which earned my team the Eurocities Innovation Award.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to shaping cultural policies and strategies and collaborated with institutions like the European Commission, Slovenia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the City of Ljubljana.

Dedicated to sharing knowledge, I have developed training programs and conducted mentorships for the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the School of Economics and Business at the University of Ljubljana, and others.

My expertise primarily spans the EU and neighbouring regions, informed among other things by the evaluation of over 200 EU Creative Europe grant applications.

Beyond my strong command of English, I am also fluent in French, as evidenced by my translation of Guy Debord’s Society of the Spectacle into Slovenian, my mother tongue.
