Senior Software Engineer & JavaScript Specialist

Working with Dakic Studio was a truly collaborative experience. As a developer still growing in the field, I appreciated his clarity, patience, and proactive problem-solving. He didn't just build a solution—he made sure I understood it, every step of the way.

CTO & Founder

I'm absolutely in love with my new portfolio site, Zeljko and his team brought my vision to life in a way I hadn't even imagined. As a fashion designer, I needed a space that felt artistic, modern, and me. He didn't just build a website; he elevated my brand. Every detail was thoughtfully crafted, and his responsiveness made the whole process stress-free. I've already had clients tell me it looks like a million bucks!
