Welcome to the pages of my story – I’m Vlatka, a graphic and web designer and illustrator from Varaždin.

Creating visual solutions in all possible forms is my passion. I work equally well independently and as part of a creative and inspiring team.

Currently I am a freelance designer, always open to new challenges and collaborations, especially when they create opportunities for learning and developing innovative concepts.

• My last employment was at Calzedonia Digital in Varaždin as a senior brand designer for the TEZENIS brand. The role involved creating a wide range of digital design assets, including website and app banners, newsletters, and other marketing materials. I was also overseeing and mentoring a team of junior designers and contributing to the development of large-scale projects such as landing pages, sales campaigns, and editorial content for online initiatives.
• At the start of my employment at Calzedonia i worked cross-brand for all of the other brands in the Group and was eventually assigned to Tezenis. The brand has e-commerce shops all around the world, so my responsibilities also include communication with branch offices, as well as alignment and coordination with the headquarters.
• Before joining Calzedonia, I spent three years at D Management, a marketing agency in Varaždin, where I worked on a wide range of design projects—from brand identity development (logos, business cards) to promotional materials (posters, flyers, banners, catalogs), including print-ready production. Following that experience, I launched my own creative brand, Fabrica Graphica, through which I still continue to pursue freelance and self-initiated projects involving both graphic design and original artwork.
• I approach each new challenge with enthusiasm and a strong desire to grow—both creatively and professionally. Alongside my occasional freelance work, I develop my own illustration and graphic print collections, which reflect my passion for visual storytelling and design craftsmanship. I appreciate the hybrid working arrangement, combining on-site presence with remote work, as it supports both efficient teamwork and productive independent responsibilities.
