Hi, I'm Ana Url.
I code & build campaigns with the power of words and colors.

I build sites and apps for queer-feminist causes. I also work with governments, political parties and nonprofits to design & lead digital strategy campaigns from scratch.

My story

STRATEGY

Over the last 10 years, I have collaborated with diverse teams, held various roles, and engaged in a wide spectrum of sectors, including government, nonprofit organizations, public relations agencies, and corporations. My journey includes spearheading and successfully executing transformative projects, such as the establishment of the central governmental platform and the pioneering eCitizens project. I've proudly developed and implemented advocacy and communication campaigns for anti-fascist, queer and feminist organizations like Zagreb Pride, LORI and KolekTiRV. In addition, I crafted digital strategies and implemented trainings for organizations, parties and initiatives including the Party of European Socialists, the European External Action Service, ALDE party, IDAHOBIT, to name just a few.

CODE

Exploring the world of coding, I'm driven by the belief that technology is a tool for collaboration, self-expression, and social justice. My expertise lies in full-stack website development. However, with a track record of planning, leading, and executing numerous projects, I have harnessed my technical skills not only in the development of web projects but also in shaping their content and functionality. Some of my recent projects include "That's so gay" , platforms for nonprofits like Queer Slavonija, and other projects supporting women and queer-led businesses in establishing a strong online presence. I'm passionate about mentoring aspiring web developers through the Mentoring Byte initiative to foster web development community growth. I'm also a Recurse Center alum, part of the global community of passionate programmers.
