Student Profile

Nationality: Slovenia


The RCA gives me freedom, space, support and best technical advices to create work at my best standard. It is not only a place for learning but also making long lasting friendships with students as well tutors. I think anyone who is passionate about what they are doing should be encouraged to apply for the Royal College of Art. If you feel strongly about your work and materials, tutors notice the force that is pushing you towards new discoveries and will help you to achieve it. I believe anyone can bring something exciting to the RCA and can be inspiration for someone else.
