Too many hobbies, too little time

Engineer by trade. Artisan by obsession. Studio owner by accident.

Who is Kuki?

My name is Josip, but everyone calls me Kuki.

By day I design software. By night, on weekends and during lunch breaks, I juggle too many hobbies: I sculpt, paint, build, and generally make a mess of my workshop with chemicals, sawdust and acrylic paint.

Cooking, woodworking, miniature sculpting, painting, prop-making, 3D scanning... the list of hobbies keeps growing. The time available for them does not.

How the studio started

It started with having a bad memory

My memory isn't great. Important moments blur, details fade. So I started making physical things to anchor them. A miniature of a childhood home. A sculpt of a favourite character. A tiny model of a place that mattered.

Then people started asking

Friends saw the pieces and wanted their own. A wedding gift here. A graduation piece there. A team of 15 employees immortalised in clay for a company anniversary. One commission at a time, Creative Studio Kuki became real.

What we are now

A one-person studio that makes personalised miniature art. Wedding keepsakes, graduation gifts, employee commissions, fan art, and everything in between. Every piece is handcrafted.
