Tailor and Seamstress

I was brought up with the sewing, knitting and crochet needles in my hands. Creative handcrafts were part of my life and it was natural to move into that direction in my education and the profession. 

 

Besides my fashion career, I pursued a sports career as well. Among many outdoor sports (rock climbing, hiking, speleology, skiing, paragliding, horseback riding and other), I stayed with skydiving forever and made it my seasonal profession for a few years in Canada as a Skydiving Videographer and Photographer, and coach as well.
The heart brought me back to my homeland and year 2022 an Air club Istria was born with the mission to revitalize the skydiving school, extend the tourist season and expand the tourist offer. 
The partnership with the University Juraj Dobrila in Pula was established.

 

Once I was introduced into the film industry, I finally found the place where I can employ all my creative skills.

As per now, I am Member of IATSE 891, what makes me eligible to work in British Columbia and Yukon. As a European Union citizen I am also eligible to take work anywhere in EU.


As a European tailor, when serving my own customers I am often taking the Designer's role in the project, using my extended knowledge and experience in design, fabrics, pattern drafting, couture sewing, with the attention to details.

Year 2024 a life long idea of opening my own business with a storefront came to life in Pula, my home city. It is known as Krojač Stari grad (Old Town TAilor). Located in old town Pula it operates year round and is known as film friendly business as well.

 

My decades-long skydiving career was always connected to my sewing profession. From creating the skydiving jumpsuits, fixings after intense skydiving season to having the privilege of grading the patterns for the first commercial version of skydiving Wingsuit in the history, for Phoenix-Fly company.
