About Me

I’m Damir, a UX designer and former Web3 co-founder studying at DePaul — I design with research, intent, and a builder’s instinct.

I started my career in Web3, co-founding ERC Labs and leading product development at Hall of Fame Goat Lodge NFT — where I learned to build fast, collaborate across teams, and think in systems. That entrepreneurial foundation brought me to UX design, where I discovered the power of research-driven thinking. Today, I’m pursuing a BS in User Experience Design at DePaul University, building on real-world startup experience with formal design methodology.
