Hi, there! I'm Milos, and I’m a UI/UX designer with a background in graphic design and different mediums. Since I know for myself, I've been an art and design lover and enthusiast, that led me to graduate from the Faculty of Fine Art.

Prior to UI/UX, I had been fortunate to explore and experiment various fields, including oil painting and murals, visual design, video production, printing, photography, motion design, and managing printing and design departments. Collaboration and interaction with artists and social entrepreneurs made me realize the greater impact design could have on society. My software ability and passion for art, in all forms, serves as a valuable pillar strengthening my work in UI/UX design and informing my personal approach to user centered ideation. I enjoy practicing a user-centered design process involving user research, prototype, visual design, usability testing, and iteration. I'm also passionate about optimizing team collaborations, bridging gaps and breaking down barriers and I hold my design work to high standards.

In my spare time, I like to travel, enjoy music and movies and also collect them, or draw and paint to express myself. When going through the design process, I always link my passions to how I come up with ideas and iterations. I apply the same constant feeling of wanting to improve my movements from different angles to the very products and solutions, taking inspirations from anything to everything, and creating my own interpretation. A lover of lifelong learning and trying new things, I'm always looking for opportunities to grow, develop new skills, and create beautiful works with others.
