I gained first experience working in the civil sector through volunteer work in various NGOs. Later, I have learned project logic and its application at many workshops that are manifested through the implementation of several projects from different fields of activity, guided by the need to redefine existing social relationships, which ultimately leads to an interest in the topic of social entrepreneurship and culture. Then he moved to Zagreb, where he became a project and program coordinator, PR associate on AKC Attack projects. Today, he is a social media manager for Hangtime Agency and owner of small company Crnilo which specializes in booking and promoting heavy underground music. Current areas of interest: fusion of culture and entrepreneurship; development of independent spaces, self-sustainability, musical extremities of all kinds, social theory, activism.
