Testimonials
Damir is a legend. He is not a 'yes man' and will 100% push back on you when he doesn't like the direction.
Co-Founder, BrokerEngine
Damir is a brilliant designer. If you are looking for a top 1% product designer then I cannot recommend Damir enough.
Co-Founder, Nametag & Cosmitto
Damir is a great all-rounder. He is capable of running projects with little assistance due to his wide skill set.

Meet Damir
I've been designing since 2009, and nomadic since 2018, working remotely with teams across time zones. I care about craft, clear communication, and shipping work that actually moves the needle.
I prefer async collaboration, direct feedback, and working with people who know what they want to build. If you're looking for someone to execute a vision — or challenge it when needed — we'll probably get along.
