About Mirna Ptiček
As a designer and art & design director with 20 years of experience in visual communication and branding, Mirna has specialized in creating unique brand identity concepts, developing bespoke visual identities and integrating overall brand communication.
Her work sets high visual standards and helps show the potential of the businesses she supports.
Constantly collaborating and relying on a selected network of the smartest coworkers in different areas that a project requires, she coordinates the creative teams to meet the exact needs of a project and helps to establish and manage the in-house design processes and brand hygiene. Her hands-on approach makes even the most complex projects happen, and her long and versatile team-leading experience guarantees the quality of the cooperation process, bringing the best ideas to light.
Mirna is an expert in branding from scratch, with visual identity and communication perfectly planted into its strategic base. The resulting brand identities are always planned for business longevity, and most of her brand identities still resist rebranding after more than 10 or 15 years of service*. Thanks to this level of reliability, some of her professional cooperation take decades** and others reap industry awards***.
In 2020, Mirna was selected as one of Creativepool’s Top 10 Art Directors to look out for in 2021. Her work has won a number of industry and design awards, including the Bronze Cannes Lion 2021 for Design, Art Directors Club New York “Best of Discipline” for Packaging Design 2021, three Red Dot Awards and a Cresta Award, to name a few. She is a member of HZSU (Croatian Freelance Artists Association) and CDA (Croatian Designers Association). To read more from the media, please look at the > References.
