CURRICULUM VITAE
WHO AM I?
My name is Špela and I am a graphic designer by education and, as you can see on my website, many other things privately. My passion is creating unique works of art, be it in graphic design, baking or interior design. As I have participated in many international cooperation projects in the European Union and institutions outside it, I enjoy research, learning and research. My love of travel has taken me to many places around the world, privately, educationally and officially, and I hope to see even more unique places of our world in the future.
