Nikola Margetić
With over 3 years of experience in digital design, I’ve worked on a wide range of web and mobile projects, crafting intuitive, user-centered solutions that balance function and form.
Outside of work, I’m into trail running, CrossFit, and spending as much time as possible outdoors. I’m also a big fan of a good flat white and proud father of two cats who occasionally make surprise appearances during meetings.
