Teja Gerkman completed her high school education at the Secondary School for Design and Photography Ljubljana, where she attended the Art Gymnasium program. She later continued her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design Ljubljana, specializing in Visual Communications. In 2016, she completed her bachelor’s degree with the highest grade for her thesis and subsequently enrolled in the master’s program.

Alongside her formal education, Teja actively explored the game industry. Between 2016 and 2019, she participated in various conferences, game jams, and industry events, including Outfit7’s Talent Camp twice. During this period, she focused on developing her 2D art portfolio and gaining the skills and experience needed to pursue a career in games.

In 2019, Teja joined Bubadu, a Slovenia-based mobile game company, as a full-time 2D artist. Since then, she has contributed to several of the studio’s key titles, including Bubbu, Bubbu School, Bubbu 2, and Mimmi World. Beginning her professional career in the game industry led her to put her master’s studies on hold and focus fully on her work as an artist.

Teja is dedicated to continually developing her skills and broadening her experience. She welcomes new challenges and opportunities that support her growth.
