Fedor Rakic
Born and raised in the oldest city in Europe, Belgrade, where I currently reside as well.
I am passionate about problem-solving and helping people enhance their digital presence through clean, neat, and user-centered designs, visuals, and videos.
I am a constant learner and love engaging with motivated people who want to share their ideas with the world.
I have previously worked on branding, web and graphic design, print design, video editing, animation, special effects, and DVD authoring.
When I am not designing, you can find me working out at the gym, exploring ancient civilizations, watching Sci-Fi shows, playing heavy metal guitar or painting.
