we don’t need much

Hello, dear reader!

I’m Janža Dolinšek, the hands and brains behind JNŽ studio. My name is unusual even by Slovenian standards, but I decided to name my brand after it anyway. It is pronounced [jnʒ] (J as Y in Kanye N as N in Nice, Ž as Ge in Courage). It seems like my first ambitions were not to grow a globally renowned brand, haha.

My partner and I live in our dream house in a meadow by a forest. We are accompanied by three dogs and three cats.

I absolutely love our garden and surroundings. It is peaceful, idyllic and utterly green.

I focus primarily on making functional and decorative ceramics, but I also work in graphic and spatial design, copywriting, and event organisation. I studied visual communications.

Thank you for taking the time to read this short article about me — I really appreciate it. If you're interested in seeing more of my work, please continue.
