Design & frontend engineer / Italy

Interfaces
that feel right.

I’m Marko. I bring interface design and frontend engineering together, building expressive products that hold up beyond the first impression.

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

Code, craft
and character.

I’m Marko Nikolajevic, a design and frontend engineer based in Italy. I work across a product’s visual language, React components, and interactions, with the same care for how it looks and how it behaves.

I like turning design decisions into systems: contrast checks that run before a release, reusable previews, and recovery paths when saving fails.

Away from the keyboard, I’m usually in dad mode. Anime fills the remaining gaps and inspired MangaMode, my VS Code theme designed to make long coding sessions easier on the eyes.
