My name is Ivan Marečić, owner of Papercut studio with 20 years of experience in graphic, web, and multimedia design, 2D animation, illustration, process, and people management. I enjoy working with people whose respect for each other is based on their character traits and professionalism. I believe that the base of a successful team is clear goals and good communication with more than a pinch of creative thinking. Before opening Papercut design studio I was the senior brand manager in the marketing department of a major bank in the region. On a more personal level I am a father of two and married since 2002. My off-work interests are theology and ethics, writing and illustrating books for children and enjoying fatherhood. I’m also a painter, miniature sculptor, songwriter, and a moderately good bass player. Oh... and I have a dog... a small one.
