I am writing to recommend Donji for any position related to UX design instruction or curriculum development. I had the pleasure of working closely with Donji during my tenure as the Program Manager of the Future Entrepreneur Challenge program at Harmony Plus, where Donji served as our instructor for UX design. It was a pleasure collaborating with him.

There are three exceptional qualities that I would like to highlight about Donji's expertise and contributions:

1. Course design and collaboration: Donji demonstrated expertise and dedication in designing the UX design course. He worked closely with our team to create a comprehensive and engaging curriculum that met the needs of our middle and high school students. Donji's ability to integrate theoretical concepts with practical exercises ensured a valuable learning experience. He was responsive, approachable, and communicated effectively, contributing to the success of our programs.

2. Student outcomes: I was impressed with the quality of work produced by the students under Donji's guidance. Donji's experience in UX design across various industries allowed him to effectively guide our students with diverse business ideas. He shared valuable insights, tools, and examples to enrich their projects and learning experience. Despite the relatively short duration of the course, Donji's teaching empowered students to acquire UX design concepts and apply them creatively. The students' final projects showcased their skills and understanding, and I consistently received positive feedback from parents and students.

3. Course execution and student engagement: Among all the instructors I have worked with, Donji stands out for his exceptional ability to engage and connect with young students. I sat in almost all classes and found his classes very informative and enjoyable. Donji created an inclusive environment, ensuring that even shy or less confident students felt comfortable expressing their ideas. He demonstrated patience and provided individualized guidance to help students unlock their potential.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Donji and I believe his expertise, teaching skills, and collaborative work ethic make him an asset to any organization.

If you have any further questions or require additional information regarding Donji's qualifications, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Donji is an enthusiastic worker, creative, UX designer and a great person to have on your team. My favorite thing about Donji is his personality - his positive energy seems to be unshakable. Solid as a rock.

When we wanted to build a website for our new digital livestream/podcast studio, Donji came up with the idea of using WebFlow (ProductionLineStudios.com) [deprecated b/c of covid]. He mastered the technology, created a template, produced many of the graphics from scratch and collaborated with a small team to develop a site that we're really proud of. And wrote some catchy blogs. All while managing the UX and development of another very large website and creating graphics for various ad campaigns and proposals.

I couldn’t recommend Donji more. He was a great team player and ran several design thinking meetings that led to important insights. During meetings, he always communicated his point of view in a very direct way.

His design research skills along with his ability to explain his research findings makes Donji really stand out as a designer. When Donji wasn’t working on product design, he was assigned with various graphic design tasks which he executed with ease.

We also loved to have Donji around because of his always unflinchingly positive attitude. Ultimately, Donji was a great addition to the team, and I would highly recommend Donji as he would be an asset to any business organization.

Whenever someone asks me about UX Design, I always show them the workflow Donji made for turning user feedback into potential features. The way he organizes features is really the best example of effective UX planning.

For Kickback.chat, the app we worked on together, he made it extremely clear what the priorities were for what to build next in order to maximize the user experience for the end user. I couldn't recommend him more!
