Hi, I’m Neža
I’m a character designer, visual development artist, and illustrator from Slovenia — and a lifelong creative adventurer. In my work, I combine story, nature, and wonder, often sparked by books, movies, places, or simply everyday life.
I’m self-taught and always eager to learn more — through characters I’m developing, views I try to capture in my sketchbooks, reflective illustrations, or creating art based on the stories I love. I’ve contributed artwork to various scout projects, share my creative journey online, and am currently open to freelance opportunities and new collaborations.
When I’m not drawing, you’ll probably find me hiking a mountain trail, rock climbing, reading, or watching a good movie. Thanks for stopping by — I’m glad you’re here.

Currently Exploring …
Right now, I’m on a quest to improve my portfolio, starting with two personal projects. Adventure Girls is a character-driven visual development project inspired by nature and friendship. I’m also revisiting Sleepy Little Star — a visual development project based on the beloved Slovenian story Zvezdica zaspanka by Frane Miličinski – Ježek.
And beyond that… I’m working on something exciting I can’t quite share just yet. ;)
