About

Hi, I'm Emilija.

In short, I get paid to make you stop scrolling.

Curious how I got here? Take a look below.

The Journey

Amateur Journalism

F1 (Formula 1) obsession turned into amateur journalism. Writing news and articles for the then DriveTribe website, I found out I could actually create something good.

Marketing Degree

Started studying marketing at the Faculty of Economics in Skopje. From the first semester I knew I picked the right path. Loved every class.

UX/UI Design Academy

Next, a UX/UI design academy. This one hit differently. I was all in, obsessed, staying up late sketching flows and rebuilding buttons nobody asked me to touch.

I still see everything through those lenses.

Static Ads Designer

Turns out journalism, marketing, data, and design were all training me for the same thing: writing hooks and building layouts as an ad designer, mentored by Kristijan Arapov.
