Ana Lasič Simeunović
In February 2020, Ana Lasič Simeunović successfully completed her postgraduate studies in Marketing at the Faculty of Economics, University of Ljubljana. During her studies, she actively enhanced her knowledge by participating in various professional programs and education, including the 'Realize Ideas' training within the Erasmus+ project, 'Entrepreneurial Skills for Women in the Digital World,' the Summer School of Cultural Management at the University of Ljubljana, the workshop 'Organizing Top Events' with Nika Močnik, and social media management training at the UDO Academy.
In addition to her marketing and organizational skills in the business world, she also gained experience in the field of photography. Her journey as a photographer began in 2015 when, as part of the 'Drink Differently' competition, she was selected to collaborate under the mentorship of the renowned American conceptual and street photographer Cheryl Dunn. At the end of the competition, with a winning series of photographs exhibited at the Galerija Fotografija, she presented her perspective on excessive and irresponsible alcohol consumption among young people.
In 2016, as part of the 'Photo Stories of Our Neighborhood' competition, her photograph was awarded, contributing to the thematic collection of photographs depicting the current state of neighborhoods in Slovenia and elsewhere. The competition was organized by the Urban Planning Institute of the Republic of Slovenia (UIRS) as part of the international project Humane Cities: Challenging the City Scale (Creative Europe 2014–2020) in collaboration with the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO) and the local initiative Together on the Platform! Later, as part of Tina Ramujkić's photography course, she presented her photographs at the Prežihov Voranc Library in collaboration with the City Municipality of Ljubljana. The exhibition was titled 'Green You Are, Ljubljana, Through the Photographer's Eye.
Currently, she works as a project collaborator and promotion and communication coordinator at the Ljubljana University Incubator, where she assists startups and early-stage companies in establishing their brand presence and communication with their target audiences.
Photography, marketing, and visual communication represent her chosen territory of creativity. In addition to her regular employment, she enjoys participating in various creative projects. Among others, she collaborates with the Juventina clinic team, led by Prof. Dr. Uroš Ahčan, where she is responsible for developing the brand awareness strategy on social media.
Her appreciation for small details, which she developed throughout her journey, intertwines with her ability for visual expression. This is reflected in her creative work, where she believes that these small details often reflect deep emotions and powerful stories.
