Marija Zaric is a web designer living in Belgrade with a focus on individual and commercial clients who demand websites that are clear, modern, creative, simple, and responsive. She works with clients from USA and all over the world, helping them present their services in a unique, yet professional, way.

She is a relentless learner. What she loves the most about web design is the constant changes in the field, especially its evolution over the last 4 years when she became inspired by its simplicity, great images, typography, and the possibility of optimizing a single website for various devices.

She redesigned and incorporated these styles into her own website and called it Creative Simplicity. Marija was a reviewer for the book Responsive Media in HTML5 by Packt Publishing.
