Damir is one of the best designers I've worked with in my 10+ year career as a web developer. He inherently understands the technicality of front end development, empathizes with the user, and cuts straight through to value for client and user.

Daniel Rekshan

Web developer at Archimedes Digital

Damir is a great all-rounder designer. Keen to get his hands dirty in all aspects, he is very good at developing new propositions and products, and is capable of running these type of projects and experiments with little assistance from the wider team due to his wide skill set.

Chris Thelwell

Director of Product Design at DuckDuckGo

Damir is a total professional. He laid the foundations for the 70:20:10 Forum with his focus on designing a user-centred environment. He demonstrated deep understanding of the 'always beta' world of online services and the need to create experiences that both engage and delight.

Going The Extra Pixel

No matter the technology that I'm designed for, quality and meticulousness are staples of my work.

No matter the technology that I'm designed for, quality and meticulousness are staples of my work.

No abandoned states.

I design for empty, loading, errors, and success states, and work with developers to elegantly cater to all edge cases. Every factor of the user experience should be designed for.

Documented in detail.

In Figma, Handoff notes explain those intricate details that static mockups can't convey to developers.

Stringent quality analysis.

I review the work that developers produce in order to make sure that my vision is executed to pragmatic pixel perfection.

UI library included.

Standardised UI components means that all designers and developers speak the same language, making development smoother.

¡Internacionalización, sí!

Need a multilingual design that also supports multiple languages and right-to-left scripts like Arabic? Yalla! No problemo.

Retina-optimised.

No blurry images or icons here. This ain't amateur hour.
