Are you ready to virtually fly to Croatia and meet Nataša? She has a great story to share: about her experience, vision and how she’d like to contribute to make an impact.
Let’s get to know her:
I’m a professional graphic designer with a college degree in the field of graphic design and visual communication. Since I know for myself, I knew I would live my life based on art and creativity for sure. I shown my first interest in graphic design as young as ten years old, the time I got my first computer. “Paint” was my favorite “game,” which was soon replaced by Photoshop. I like to define my profession as a mixture of eye-pleasing art with a study of human psychology that hides behind the technology, which makes it useful for people. Recently I start digging deeper into digital marketing strategies to gain the basic knowledge and be able to improve my design skills for use in marketing.
Why did you join Work for Impact?
I see it as an excellent opportunity to put my skills in the use of something bigger and more important that will benefit society, people, and environment. What’s the use of my knowledge and skills if I’m not able to make at least the smallest change in the world and leave my mark as a caring human being. I love my job, and I do it with love and pleasure, but the highest satisfaction I can get is by working for something I sincerely believe in and stand for.
What motivates you?
I find great pleasure in seeing my designs on the streets, on the internet, or used by people. I love making an impact, no matter how big or small it is. Sometimes, the smallest change in you can make a significant impact on someone else.
How would you contribute to make the world a better place?
I’m a nature lover and vegetarian. I’m aware that the meat industry is one of the big polluters, not to mention how humans treat animals only for temporary sensorial pleasure. That’s why I strongly support products and companies that are either vegetarian, vegan, or environmentally friendly. If I had one wish, I would wish for people to be more aware of how their everyday life choices impact the lives of everyone on this planet.
Favorite organization?
My favorite organization is my local organization that helps stray dogs. It is a no-kill dog shelter that also fights for animal rights and well-being.
