Biografia
Born in Umag, Dean left his hometown at just fourteen to attend the Classical Gymnasium in Pazin, later moving to Zagreb where he earned a degree in Management. Although trained in management, marketing, and tourism, life soon led him toward television, journalism, acting, and - quite unexpectedly - modeling.
His career began entirely by chance when a friend took him to a modeling agency. Soon after came his first photo shoots, runway shows, magazine covers, and campaigns - and the media quickly dubbed him "the most sought-after Croatian model." He has worked for numerous fashion brands in Croatia and abroad, including Milan and other major European fashion centers.
Alongside modeling, he explored journalism, hosted the TV Bingo show on national television, and appeared as an expert on the popular TV show Married at First Sight. Despite all this, his first love has always been writing.
At the end of 2015, he published the book Njegova strana priče: Tebi, which became a bestseller even in pre-sale and has since gone through multiple editions, selling tens of thousands of copies. The book resonated with readers across the region, especially women, offering a fresh perspective on love and relationships.
In 2020, he released the follow-up book, Sebi, which continued his path of success and solidified his position as one of the most widely read authors of the new generation. The English edition of his first book, To You: His Side of the Story, was published in 2021 and is available on Amazon and in his webshop, while the translation of Sebi is currently in progress.
On social media, Dean is followed by over half a million people. Today, he lives and works across European cities, constantly traveling, and his third book is currently in preparation.
