Hi, I'm Anja,
a typical libra who always finds several ideal solutions and finds it difficult to decide on one.
I’m one of those people who’s interested in a lot of things, so I never knew exactly what I wanted to become when I grew up. For this reason, I changed college then completed an Architecture degree, and then found myself in a pool of graphic design.
At school, my favourite subject was literature, where we now and then presented a literary work and were able to delve into the author's experience.
I find my peace in nature, when I am alone or in the company of mindful people. I rather have a few close friendships than a bunch of acquaintances around me.
I have always been interested in personal growth and I dedicate a large part of my time to this.
I invested a lot of time and money in education in the field of psychology, art, marketing, and coaching.
In past years, I have managed to combine self-work with creativity and I like to share this knowledge with others.
I am also a painter and I often get asked if my paintings are “energetic” as they evoke strong feelings in people. I attribute these events to the way paintings are created. I make art in corelation with the discovery of the inner world of a person.
I have been involved in graphic design for more than 10 years and create various printed materials, graphics for the web, social media, webmail, etc. Do you need graphic design? Take a look at my references.
Creative methods I use in my work:
Fractal drawing
I have always felt that things could be improved and that everyone could live well, almost like heaven on earth. Maybe sometimes someone calls me an idealist or you are really naive, but I don't see it that way, it's more like a sincere, pure, childlike desire, love for the nature of life and faith in the ability to create.
That's why I love fractals. By drawing fractals, we are able to create things on paper even before we see them in the material world. We draw on a piece of paper what we really want and gradually this fractal drawing also becomes our life.
Intuitive painting
Works like a training field on the paper, to practice, to transform, to allow ourselves to be. Such art technique is great to step away from everything learned and build inner confidence, following your own impulses and feelings. Intuitive painting is a great tool for sharpening intuition, healing perfectionism, training the ability to let go and allow new things to enter your life.
Creating mandalas
Mandalas are pieces of art that are round in shape and extend from the centre outwards. They are a part of an ancient tradition of Indian religions. I would describe them as a personal temple that represents perfect inner balance. When we look at the mandala, we feel a deep calm peace and harmony. We can include a lot of symbolism in mandalas, usually, ideas come along with the painting process. People often use them in meditation or to improve the energy of a particular room.

Današnji izziv v 5-dnevni delavnici mi je bil zanimiv, sicer časovno malo prekratki, ker včasih rišem po par dni eno sliko. Prav veselim se tvojih idej in zelo sem hvaležna, da jih deliš. Tvoje slike imajo nek poseben čar in všeč so mi kombinacije barv. Hvala, ker deliš svoje znanje.
Today's challenge in the 5-day workshop was interesting to me, a little too short in time, because sometimes it takes me a couple of days to finish one painting. I am really looking forward to your ideas and I am very grateful that you share them. Your paintings have a special charm and I like the colour combinations. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
- Mateja
Hvala za inspiracijo, spodbudne besede in vso toplo energijo, ki sem jo začutila ob gledanju vaših videov v 5-dnevni delavnici. Vse kar sem do sedaj naslikala, mi je bilo res všeč.
Thank you for the inspiration, encouraging words and all the warm energy I felt while watching your videos in the 5-day workshop. I really like everything I have painted so far.

5-dnevna delavnica mi je bila zelo všeč! Ta vaša ideja z izzivi mi je res všeč, saj je drugačna, gre v globino in to je tisto, kar jo dela odlično. Hvala še enkrat. Aja, kmalu bom imela rojstni dan, okrogel, pa sem se odločila, da si podarim vaš tečaj ustvarjanja mandale. 🤗👍🔆🙃
Lep dan še naprej!I really enjoyed the 5-day workshop! I really like your idea with challenges because it’s different, it goes into depth and that’s what makes it great. Thanks again. Btw, I will soon have a birthday, a special number, and I have decided to give myself your Textured mandala course. 🤗👍🔆🙃
Have a nice day! - Oscar Hyde
I worked with her several times and i am total happy! Was a new experience after a long work-period with freelancers. She is very friendly, very creative and very fast. I will work with her again and again. Super comfortable and a perfect kind of teamwork
- Eileen Salis
Anja was an absolute pleasure to work with. She took the limited information I gave her and created the perfect birthday Invitation and surprise agenda for a weekend away with photos of the locations to match. She was incredibly quick and efficient with edits and did a wonderful job. I would 100% recommend her and will use her again in the future.
- James A. Medrano
Anja is a fantastic artist, she caught the essence of what I wanted and her blending of the painting was nothing I had seen before. I was in awe of her work once I received it. She is an efficient communicator and checks with the progress of the piece to see if it captures the message. I told her to take her time, because all the great art takes time and each stroke is important. By the way this piece glows in the dark which I thought it was cool.

There were a number of revisions to this job and Anja handled them all professionally. My client was thrilled with the final product. We would use her again!

Anja was very good, even with the time difference and a project manager switch in the middle of the job. Thank you so much, Anja!
- Linda RielGSE Travel Media
Very happy with the work Anja did. She designed exactly what I wanted on minimal input and came up with some excellent alternatives as well. She is quick, creative and a great communicator. Very flexible, values her work and her relationship with the client. Definitly worth hiring on your design projects.
