Ivana Bagatin
The undeniable star of the show!! Ivana is a Graphic Designer by trade. Hailing from the popular tourist destination called Croatia (across from Italy if you didn't know). She has been working in Arts and Design ever since she was able to hold a paint brush in her hand. She has created jewelry, clothing, and paintings, books, business cards and posters, website graphics and of course capture and splash pages. Her favorite past time is having a cup of coffee with her good friends. Ivana knows that if you do not have good friends that you can share your life with, nothing else really matters!
Shane Hurst
Shane is Ivana's life/business partner. Originally from the United States, he now lives in Croatia as well. Shane has been infatuated with the internet ever since he was able to get his hands on it via a WebTv device; and that is how he built his first internet page. Since then he has been to college and graduated with an Associate of Arts Degree and an Associate of Science Degree. Shane took a brief stint away from computers, but the allure has always been there for him. Since his return to his second love (Ivana being his first) he has developed many websites and is Ivana's "Man Behind The Scenes" to keep everything that you see working right!
Our Story
Everyone asks us "how did you meet!!". For some unknown reason Shane's parents decided to host a foreign exchange student during his senior year in high school. Lo and behold who showed up on the doorstep? A young lady by the name of Ivana. Ivana and Shane first laid eyes on each other in a hallway where time seemed to stop. Truly love at first sight! They had a romantic year, but the music was to end upon graduation when Ivana returned to Croatia. Heart broken, Ivana and Shane tried to no avail to return to each others arms. For 14 years they stayed in contact via letters, emails, phone calls and skype. Two years ago Ivana decided she had to see Shane one last time. With funding from her friends and family she flew to America to find her lost love. Upon being in each others arms once again they fell madly in love, just like in high school. To make a long story short, Shane moved to Croatia shortly thereafter and lived happily ever after.
