Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade in 2010, majoring in stage and contemporary costume with a grade-point average of 9.98. Within the field of contemporary costume she took part in Grazia magazine's young-talent competition, reaching the finals; the shows were presented as part of Fashion Selection in Belgrade in 2009.
At Belgrade Fashion Week 2010 she presented her graduation collection “Wayang Kulit”, inspired by Indian puppets and their silhouettes. In 2011 she unveiled her first solo collection, “Ode to the Sun”, inspired by the film Mata Hari (1931) starring Greta Garbo.
In January 2011 she opened an atelier within the Belgrade Design District. In October 2012 she presented the collection “The Colour of Rain”, inspired by 1950s glamour in a modern interpretation. In October 2013, at Belgrade Fashion Week, she showed the collection “Zentangle”, inspired by lines and linear surfaces.
Her collections have been shown in Serbia and Montenegro. She has worked on numerous theatre and film projects — as head costume designer for the play “Kalav kupleraj” (directed by Milica Kralj and Svetlana Bojković), on the film “Ratovi” by director Ivan Bakrač (2012), and on the costume design for the ballet ensemble “Ballo” (2013).
In April 2014 she opened an atelier in Podgorica, at Jovana Tomaševića 1, which remains her base for work and production to this day. The collections “Zentangle 2” (2015), “M.E.S.H.” (2016, presented at Serbia, Montenegro and Budapest Fashion Week) and “Savana” (2018) followed.
