Hi,
I’m Dijana, my passion is empowering people
and organisations through
I work with organisations
as the facilitator of DEI workshops and Creative colaboration workshop
I believe that everyone has creative potential and that every role in an organization is important. The workshops I design and facilitate are based on serious creativity and inclusion, with a focus on fostering effective collaboration between diverse people.
Recently, I’ve received the Award for my product design concept “Things Left Unsaid”
“Things Left Unsaid”, Special Recognition Award by HDD & Brokenship museum
My awarded product design concept for Brokenship, Second Chance Contest.
Award by HDD (Croatian Designers Society)
“Things left unsaid” advocates for a healthy and constructive recovery from a breakup in a touching way. The recycled paper on which we write the unspoken words to ease our souls contains wildflower seeds.
By ritually burying the paper in the ground, which contrasts with the destructive stereotype of burning paper, our words will transform into flowers, thus contributing to alternative forms of building emotional resilience and enhancing our environment.
I authored two books …
A small book about biases.
Containing 15 animated cartoons explaining most common biases.
Using visual storytelling and introducing Lena, an ordinary girl who suddenly grew a weird superpower, this book tackles diversity, fitting in, finding support, and the good roots for one’s happiness. It aims to serve as a conversation trigger.
This is how & why I write
I love writing in the “small book” format, each tackling one big thing at a time.
I always use visual language, so my books are full of drawings, animated cartoons and illustrations.
Therefore they are great conversation starters and association triggers, a fantastic tool for diving into a deeper understanding of sensitive topics.

About iQUEio
Firstly made it for my own use, later I shared it with my clients and friends in international Design Thinkers groups I’m in.
At this moment, iQUEio brainstorming aid app has been installed 200+ times and it has catalysed thousands of ideas that wouldn’t be noted without it.
iQUEio is a web app, therefore it can be used on any smart device that has access to the internet.
You’ll find a short tutorial in the app, and if you need assistance, I’d be happy to facilitate iQUEio ideation session for you!
