Under the
surface.

  • Character, with purpose.

    A visual identity should carry through to the product you use.

    Nopebook shares its voice between the landing page, tracker, and rejection translator.

  • Craft you can check.

    A design requirement becomes stronger when the system can enforce it.

    MangaMode checks editor text contrast before packaging each release.

  • Care when it breaks.

    A failed save deserves as much thought as a polished first impression.

    Nopebook keeps the working copy and offers backup and recovery actions.

Behind the work

Still me,
off the clock.

I’m Marko, a design and frontend engineer in Italy. I like staying with a product beyond its first version, giving how it works the same care as how it looks.

Away from the screen, it’s dad mode, with anime in whatever time is left. That’s where MangaMode began: a little more character for the place I spend much of my day.
