& creative wingman
My name is Alica Pancer.
I’m a product designer and creative consultant based in Croatia.
My work bridges product design and branding.
I design products, shape brands, and guide creative processes from idea to execution.
With over 20 years of experience, I’ve collaborated with both established industry leaders and ambitious emerging brands across the fashion and lifestyle.
I love working with visionary and gutsy brand owners who see design as a powerful craft — and a way to move their business forward.
I’m not just a designer — I’m your wingman.
Here to back your vision, push boundaries, and make sure every detail is picture-perfect.
Together we create, but I add the cherry on top.
