This year is for experimenting and trying new things. In business and life. Here are some of the things I am looking forward to in 2025
Attend an international conference — WebSummit preferably in November because it is hosted in Portugal and will get to meet one of my online friends and colleagues! 🥳 But only if I get the ticket with a discount or free. Current price:
You’ll get two tickets for €950. If you join their newsletter you can get access to their next 2 for 1 sale.
My first visit to Italy 🇮🇹 — I know, I know, living so close to it (Croatia) and just now visiting. Better late than never! I am looking forward to trying all the delicious desserts and snacks. And if you have any suggestions leave them in the comments below.
Bonus gratitude if you know cool places in Naples — sunset spots, graffiti areas, design museums, botanical gardens etc.
Starting a Wix Studio course for web design beginners — If you are a business owner or junior designer eager to learn Wix Studio and take advantage of the new features, this course will be for you. My course will be different from others because it will not only include web design fundamentals but also common user experience (UX) practices with the spark of web development understanding.
If you wonder how well I explain concepts, check out one of my most-watched videos on YouTube:
Website Teardowns — I want this to be an ongoing series on my YouTube channel in the form of live streams. Ideally, I want to be joined by other designers and exchange learnings. The purpose of website teardowns will be to educate and showcase weak and strong points of using or neglecting user experience.
But what is a website teardown? It is essentially a renovation of a neglected or not well-designed website with a focus on user experience. I already created a form for submitting websites that need a glow-up so if you have a candidate for the series, please submit it here.
The first livestream from the series is already up on my channel!
Helping Webflow clients get the best of their websites — I have had my fair share of Webflow redesigns for the past year, and completing a couple of Webflow courses inspired me to open more Webflow client spots throughout the year. So if you need help with your Webflow website, reach out.
Starting my investment portfolio — I have been reading about money mindset and investing here and there, but never got the courage to invest any particular sum into stocks or anything similar. So I am looking forward to expanding my investment portfolio beyond the Revolut savings account and crypto.
Finding the ideal gym or routine — when it comes to winter and staying fit, I have been lacking in terms of movement. Especially when this one has been colder than usual here in Zagreb. I will be on the lookout for a gym relatively close to my home, with a spacious layout of the rooms, semi-new equipment and ideally a sauna🧖🏼♀️. If you are in Zagreb and you know about one, let me know!
Try new hobbies — I did try pole dancing last year and liked it, so I am on a mission to try anything I have always wanted to give a go. Drums, making ceramic, improv dancing, book club, sketching outdoors, acting, trying to be a DJ, baking, more board games, table tennis, the list goes on and on!
Create a Webflow template — since having a Wix Studio template broke the ice in my website template design career, I have gathered enthusiasm for creating a Webfow template too.
Network more in real life — to be outside more and attend events that are not only about tech. I think during the winter months, I get way too comfortable at home, and I need to break the habit by attending more events.
What about you? What is on your 2025 bingo card? ☺️
