National brands designed in-house at a Skopje creative agency — a leasing bank, a casino, a national magazine — plus direct freelance clients in the United States and Bahrain. Magazine covers on pharmacy shelves, a billboard read at speed from a motorway, and social systems that hold a brand together across hundreds of posts.

Three chapters: a poster competition I won as a student, a year inside a Skopje agency, and the clients I now work with directly.
Chapter 01 · 2022
Where it started
A real client brief handed to a whole cohort of design students at Semos Education in Skopje. Around twenty of us presented. They chose mine, printed it, and put it up around the city.
Galicko Festival
Poster · June 2022
The debut edition of a festival in Galicnik. One poster carrying a five-act lineup, the date, a tagline and fourteen sponsor logos — and still legible from across a street.

A vinyl record setting over a synthwave horizon, with the road to Galicnik running through it. Built twice for both orientations and set in Cyrillic and Latin — the third image is the printed poster in a Skopje bus shelter.
Chapter 02 · 2024
Agency work — Block & Roll Macedonia
In-house designer at a Skopje creative agency. Inside a single year: seven magazine issues for Betty Магазин, a roadside billboard for Grand Casino Admiral, and ongoing campaign work for Sparkasse Leasing and ESI — agency pace, agency standards, brand guidelines that do not bend.
Grand Casino Admiral
Out-of-home · 2024
A roadside billboard for the “My Next Win” campaign — designed to be read in the two seconds a driver gives it, at a size where every soft edge would have shown.

Sparkasse Leasing
Brand campaign · Banking
Campaign and collateral design for a leasing bank, including the “15 years in Macedonia” anniversary campaign. Financial brands have narrow guidelines and no tolerance for drift; the work has to look effortless inside them.

Chapter 03 · Freelance
Direct clients
Work I won, scoped, priced and delivered myself, for clients in the United States and Bahrain — working directly rather than through an agency.
MD&CD Home Improvements

3D animation · Blender
A short 3D animation made in Blender for an online render challenge. It was selected and played in full on the organiser’s stream, where the entries were reviewed live on camera.
A water-filtration business with no brand and no online presence. I drew the mark, set up the channels, and produce the posts — the whole path from nothing to a running account.

The mark first, then the system it has to live inside — one lockup, one palette, one type hierarchy, repeated across every post.
Chasing Dragons — Think Pink Bahrain
Poster & retouching · Bahrain
Campaign artwork and portrait retouching for a breast cancer awareness fundraiser in Bahrain, carrying six sponsor brands without letting any of them crowd the message.
The same campaign built twice — landscape and portrait — so the hierarchy survives both crops.
Studio portraits retouched for the campaign: skin and hair cleaned up, tone evened, background rebuilt — without making the subject look like anyone other than himself.
I would rather hold a brand than take a one-off job. A fixed weekly rhythm is what keeps a brand consistent — and it means you are not re-briefing a new designer every month.
