Founder

I founded SOVA in 2013. and at that time it didn't have a name, nor did I have the intention to work as an Architect. While my focus was on pursuing my music career, I worked on several projects, some of which were just to help my closest friends. Soon, their friends saw what I had created and SOVA was taking flight. As my projects became more recognizable, I was asked for a name. Without any hesitation, SOVA landed in its rightful place, being the Bosnian word for OWL. My uncle used to call me Sova when I was a kid because of my eyes. As I have grown, the owl's characteristics fit perfectly to my own. They have been described since ancient cultures as wise, deep, dark, mystical and successful. I believe that these words describe me and my work perfectly.

Today, SOVA speaks for itself. While I am the sole designer at the company, I am a part of a larger team. They are the best executors, each with their own expertise, who are giving life to my imagination. Throughout these years, by managing, organizing and supervising each of them, we have become a family. We say I have created a bond as their team leader, with my understanding way of communicating, open mindedness, and high demands for discipline and focus. Without their desire and skills SOVA wouldn't be able to thrive, so mutual respect has always a priority.

As our team leader, I have always held my clients as my priority with communication between them, my team, and myself as a magical circle that fosters a healthy environment. This allows any problems to be solved collectively so everyone can be proud and reap the benefits, which is how SOVA has completed more than 240 interior design, housing and commercial projects.

We all have our place under the sky, and we can all be great in whatever we put our hearts to. I work hard, never look around, never care for trends, always doing things the way my heart feels it and my mind structures it. I love the power of imagination and the mantra that carries me every day and every night is:

NO RULES, BUT FREE MIND AND CREATIVITY!
