Strukovno udruženje likovnih umjetnika nekoliko je puta angažiralo Doru Derado na poslovima kuriranja izložbi i prevođenja stručnih tekstova te smo svaki put bili impresionirani radnom etikom ove svestrane profesionalke koja je u isto vrijeme kreativna i sistematična, efikasna i opuštena te detaljna i opsežna u svom pristupu poslu, bilo da se radi o velikim grupnim izložbama koje je koncipirala, žirirala i kurirala; samostalnim izložbama eminentnih autora ili mladih neafirmiranih autora; prijevodima kompleksnih tekstova i jednostavnih pedagoški osmišljenih informativnih materijala. Svakako se radi o suradniku za poželjeti.

Dora Derado Giljanović performed the proofreading of an English-language academic book edited by me. Although the challenge was immense – the book contained texts by non-native-speaking authors from different countries and from a variety of academic traditions, Dora and her team managed brilliantly. Their thoroughness and commitment cannot be overstated. Dora dealt with each text with great insight, both from a linguistic and academic point of view. She caught many errors that would have escaped my attention! In addition, she kept up a pleasant correspondence with the authors, which helped to bring the whole six-month project to a happy conclusion. I would highly recommend working with Dora on proofreading, especially to anyone dealing with art and related subjects.

Imali smo prekrasno iskustvo suradnje s DLightful Services na našem dizajnu turističke karte Sutivana. Njihova profesionalnost i pedantna pažnja posvećena detaljima bili su iznimni, što je rezultiralo ishodom koji je nadmašio naša očekivanja. Potrudili su osigurati da posjetitelji koji istražuju Sutivan imaju zanimljivo i jednostavno iskustvo. Njihova predanost i trud bili su doista izvanredni, a komunikacija jednostavna i brza.

Toplo je preporučujem svima, a mi ćemo sigurno nastaviti suradnju na daljnjim projektima.

As an artist, I have worked with Dora Derado who was my curator for a couple of exhibition projects. I have experienced her as attentive to all the details, very punctual, proactive, and organised.
I found Dora’s writing style in Croatian and English academic, informed, scientific, but underlined by her personal intuition and feminine warmth that embraced the artworks and my story; I felt understood, and well and sensitivity represented.

Working with Dora, Dlightful Services, for my photography exhibition in Zagreb was an absolute pleasure. From the very beginning, her professionalism and dedication stood out. She was incredibly quick to respond to any inquiries, which made communication smooth and stress-free throughout the entire process. :))

What truly impressed me was her attention to detail, and the way she curated the flow of the exhibition brought out the best in my work. She took the time to understand my vision and executed it flawlessly, enhancing the overall narrative of the collection.

The curatorial text she provided was another standout aspect. It was beautifully written, insightful, and perfectly captured the essence of my work. Her ability to articulate the deeper themes is something really impressive.

Dora went above and beyond to ensure every element of the exhibition—from the layout to the text—was perfect.

If you are looking for a curator who is not only professional but also genuinely passionate about their work, I cannot recommend Dora enough. Thank you.:)

Vrlo profesionalan pristup! Odlično su organizirane i znaju svoj posao!
DLightful Services za mene radi art menagement, jako sam zadovoljna i mislim da je ovo najbolja moja investicija! Od kada surađujem sa njima imam više vremena za rad u ateljeu.

I met Dora a few years ago when I needed help while I was in Split for a research project. I needed an interpreter and at the same time a capable organizer who knows how to deal with people and knows the local environment. Her approach was extremely professional and precise. I could not have completed the project without her help, and I am still grateful to her.

I worked with Dora on preparing my exhibition “Zavičaj kao vrelo nadahnuća” organized by the Meštrović Gallery in Split. Dora did a great job in creating the complete and coherent graphic design of the exhibition that expresses the spirit of the topic, which is folklore and tradition. It was very pleasant to work with her as she is very detail-oriented and punctual, and she met the deadline with no problem. What I liked the most was that she was very patient and respected my ideas and visions from the start until the end of our collaboration. She has a very humanistic approach to work and collaboration. Highly recommend! :)

I recently had the pleasure of working with DLightful Services, owned by the incredibly talented Dora Derado Giljanovic, to promote my online Business English teaching and my first book. I am truly amazed by the wide range and depth of Dora’s knowledge in various areas such as web design, graphic design, SEO, social media, and project management, to name a few.

Dora’s expertise is complemented by her impeccable organization, professionalism, attention to detail, and remarkable efficiency. Her young team mirrors her dedication and drive, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. I am absolutely delighted with the results and the process.

If I could give Dora and her team a 10-star review, I would, but I’ll gladly settle for giving them a glowing 5-star recommendation. For anyone in need of top-notch marketing services, look no further than DLightful Services. You will be delighted with the results!

Preporučila bih svima usluge prevođenja obrta DLightful Services. Pored toga što je izvrsna i iskusna prevoditeljica, Dora Derado je izvorna govornica engleskog jezika i povjesničarka umjetnosti što je pridonijelo kvaliteti stručnog prijevoda teksta za potrebe disertacije s područja suvremene umjetnosti. Komunikacija je protekla ugodno, brzo i lako. Svakako ću ponovno koristiti usluge prijevoda.

Given the short deadlines we had, I was very happy when Dora agreed to proofread a professional text in English in the field of smart cities. She did the proofreading thoroughly and very professionally, and with a few specific questions, she immediately detected what kind of result we wanted. In every interaction, she was quick to respond and pleasant to communicate with. She met all the deadlines, and we are very satisfied with the final result, considering that she significantly improved the quality of the text written by different authors. We will recommend Dora and work with her again in the future.

Ragbi klub Nada Split i Dora Derado započeli su suradnju 2013. godine. Klub je u svojim nastojanjima da napravi kvalitativni iskorak u grafičkom dizajnu angažirao gđu Derado za izradu vizuala na plakatima, ulaznicama, brošurama i prigodnim klupskim čestitkama. Dorina preciznost, pouzdanost, profesionalnost i maštovitost donosi neku novu dimenziju klubu koji svojim djelovanjem nastoji držati korak s vremenom gdje prepoznatljivost igra ključnu ulogu na marketinškom planu.

Imali smo priliku surađivati s Dorom i njezinim obrtom DLightful Services na nekoliko izložbi, a iskustvo je bilo iznimno pozitivno. Dora je kao kustosica pokazala visoku razinu profesionalnosti, stručnosti i kreativnosti. Posebno cijenimo njezinu suradnju s umjetnicima, gdje je s puno pažnje i razumijevanja predstavljala njihov rad.
Osim kustoskog rada, Dora nam je pomogla u poboljšanju kvalitete naše web stranice.
Preporučujemo DLightful Services svima koji traže stručnost, angažiranost, kreativnost i profesionalan pristup.

Surađivala sam s Dorom na nekoliko različitih projekata te sam imala priliku pratiti njezin profesionalni razvoj kroz nekoliko godina poznanstva. O njezinom pristupu radu mogu reći da je iznimno profesionalna, temeljita i stručna te se u potpunosti mogu opustiti kad surađujemo jer znam da će sve biti odrađeno na vrijeme i onako kako smo se dogovorile. Osim što je profesionalna, krase je manire ugodnog sugovornika iza kojeg stoji jedna divna osoba u čijem društvu volim boraviti i s kojom volim izmjenjivati mišljenja te tražiti konzultacije. Svakome bih preporučila suradnju s Dorom jer je zaista stručna i motivirana za područje koje obrađuje.

As a foreigner, I had a complex immigration issue that required a translator. Dora met with me and took the time to fully understand my situation. When it came time to meet with the authorities, she wasn’t just a translator, she was also my advocate. She understands the local customs and culture and without her translating and assisting me through the process, I’m convinced things would have turned out badly for me. She is highly professional and personable. I was very lucky to have found her.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dora Derado Giljanović for anyone seeking an exceptional graphic design experience. Working with her on our recent project was an absolute pleasure. Dora seamlessly combined creativity with technical expertise, delivering a document that not only met but exceeded my expectations. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and innovative approach make her a standout professional in the field. I am confident that anyone choosing Dora and DLightful Services will be delighted (no pun intended!) with the results and the enjoyable collaboration experience.
