What does Business Design Lab even mean?
Some people find their passion in making ice cream, others in building million-dollar businesses. Ours is in uncovering how those ideas come to life — with the right structure, focus, and business model behind them. Over the years, we’ve become obsessed with cutting through the noise to help businesses rediscover their purpose.
Business
We’re here to dig into how you shape ideas, skills, and interests into something real — a business that grows, adapts, and actually works for the people it serves.
Design
Design is not only a nice Scandinavian chair. Design is finding the solution for a problem, need, or a want. And good design is making proper research, knowing deeply your user, and making solutions that make both life and work feel a little more effortless.
Lab
Even with the best hypotheses, real progress comes from testing. Like in design — and in science — we experiment to see what truly works. Our lab is a space to explore, adjust, and stay curious in the pursuit of better solutions.
Who are we to tell you what to do?
Business Design Lab is lead by two people who have spent years helping ideas find their form — from sketchbooks to spreadsheets, from concepts to companies. We don’t believe in empty advice. We build structure, clarity, and momentum around what already makes you great.

People see me as a curious renaissance human who loves creating intelligently crafted, deeply culturally rooted, and innovative concepts. My role in companies is analogous to architectural restoration – beginning with rediscovery of core values and capabilities, removing noise that adds no value, and ultimately adding layers that maximize individual and organizational potential.
Being a firm believer in life-long learning and interdisciplinary thinking led me across the globe to pursue education at places where they do it the very best – such as Les Roches and Politecnico di Milano. Not settling for a one-dimensional approach, I’ve explored the world of hospitality from designing hotels and consulting on strategy, to operational and management roles in some of the global finest hotel brands - Hilton and Grand Park Hotel Rovinj.
Rich consultancy portfolio includes experience design and strategy consulting projects across industries, with a common goal to to excel and differentiate through service. To the table I bring architectural precision, service excellence, and business logic merged into one rare perspective.

Part chaos organiser and part system finder, I love untangling complex business problems and sticking with them until a clear pattern emerges and a practical plan takes shape. Turning complexity into clarity isn’t just a knack-it’s what drives me every day.
I honed this approach during my years at Seascape, where I grew with the company from its early startup days into a mature business. I wore many hats there, shifting between brand strategy, service design, and business development, all with one goal: to turn bold ideas into buildable and sellable offers. Along the way, our team created some of the most innovative boats in Beneteau’s global range. Seascape was also unique in our region for weaving design thinking into everyday practice. That experience inspired me to pursue further education and a career with nautical businesses, combining design thinking with business development.
Today, I help ambitious companies innovate and grow by applying that same combination of design thinking and business strategy. It’s about guiding teams through chaos, finding the underlying systems amidst complexity, and building solutions that not only look good on paper but also work in the real world.
