Kaja Kajfez was born in a small, charming city of Varazdin, Croatia. She developed a love of drawing as a child - her mum used to draw with her for hours which really sparked her interest in illustration. Besides doing her dream job, Kaja loves to take long walks in nature, explore different historical periods, scroll through old picture books, listen to online concerts, and spend time with her dog.
