About

My professional name is Ana Ferli. My full legal name is Željana Marić Ferli.

I have worked internationally since 2010, primarily in education and language-focused roles. Over the years, I’ve lived and worked across different countries and cultural contexts, which shaped how I think about communication, learning, and audience needs.

My background as a global educator strongly influences my work in marketing and analytics. Teaching across cultures requires clarity, adaptability, and attention to how information is received — skills that translate directly into content work, reporting, and data interpretation.

Much of my recent professional experience has been freelance and contract-based. This work was often steady and practical rather than flashy: maintaining content, supporting ongoing campaigns, updating reports, cleaning data, and helping teams keep information organized and usable over time.

I’m a continuous learner by nature. I tend to move between disciplines — education, marketing, analytics, information design — and I’m most comfortable working at intersections rather than inside rigid categories. That curiosity is what keeps the work interesting and sustainable for me.

When it comes to data, I’m particularly interested in visualization as a way of thinking. Turning raw or messy data into charts and dashboards forces decisions about structure, emphasis, and what actually matters. I aim to design visualizations that reduce cognitive load and make patterns easier to notice and discuss.

Outside of work, I’m drawn to music and literature, especially science fiction. I’m interested in how speculative ideas, systems, and alternative futures are constructed — a curiosity that quietly mirrors how I approach real-world data and information.
