BlueVita, Elevate Life

Our people

Different paths.
A shared belief.

BlueVita brings together different experiences, professions and perspectives. What connects us is the belief that knowledge becomes more valuable when it circulates, ideas grow stronger when developed together, and communities grow when people choose to contribute.

He doesn't simply live on Lošinj.
The island lives in him.

Zoran has spent his life in Mali Lošinj. He knows the island not as a destination but as a living community: its people, its rhythms, its sea, its seasons, and the potential it still holds. Few people know both its places and its possibilities as well as he does.

His technical background gives him an analytical, logical way of thinking: he sees how things work and what it would take to make them work better. Open, positive and authentic, he is a natural communicator, trusted by the people who live here and at ease in four languages. Whether out at sea, fishing or hiking the island's trails, for him nature is not somewhere he goes, but a way of being.

He hikes.He sails.He photographs.He connects.

IF YOU ASK ZORAN...

What makes a community alive?

People who greet each other, whether they know one another or not. People who laugh together, help each other and are there for one another. And people who create together, not only for today, but for the future.

Dr. Mirela Claudia Matušan speaking during a creative event

She has never been interested in
leaving things as they are.

Mirela's path has moved through psychology, psychotherapy, education, university teaching, writing and community development. She has worked where new paths had to be opened: from child protection to the then-emerging field of military psychology, including a mission in Afghanistan; from private practice and founding an education and family resource centre to European projects, accredited teacher training and university education.

What connects these chapters is a fascination with human potential and transformation, and the ability to turn knowledge, experience and intuition into something that actually works.

Moving to Lošinj opened a new chapter. She came not only to live here, but to belong and contribute. BlueVita grew from that intention: to put her experience at the service of the island, while connecting it with people, ideas and possibilities beyond it.

She observes.She questions.She connects.She creates.

IF YOU ASK MIRELA...

When does possibility become meaningful to you?

That extraordinary moment when something that existed only as an intention begins to take form. When people, knowledge and energy come together and possibility becomes something we can actually build.

She knows that numbers matter.
But never more than people.

Nataša brings together qualities that seem to belong to different worlds: an analytical mind and a creative spirit, determination and gentleness.

With extensive experience in accounting and finance, she runs her own accounting firm and knows the specific requirements of nonprofit organisations. She brings order to complexity, looks beyond the surface of a problem and keeps going until a solution is found. For a young association, that clarity is a foundation.

She discovered Lošinj in her high-school years, and the island stayed with her. Today she returns with something to bring: her expertise, her creativity and her values, in service of a community that once fascinated her.

She calculates.She clarifies.She perseveres.She cares.

IF YOU ASK NATAŠA...

What are you fascinated by?

By the mystery of life. By people and friendship. By the quality of the way we live. And, sometimes, by the unexpected beauty of sophisticated minimalism.
