Testimonials
“Miroslav has been working on various projects for TAPP Water during 2020 and 2021. It has been a pleasure working together with such a goal driven person. He has shown great flexibility, fast but detailed work always delivering on time. With his own equipment he was able to prototype and solve several problem and draw backs. I am looking forward for future collaborations.”
– Alexander Schwarz, Founder of TAPP Water S.L.
“Integrating seamlessly into the team, Miroslav provided critical input and delivered above our expectations. He is collaborative, thoughtful, and – perhaps, most importantly for our time working together – excellently skilled at physical prototyping. I highly recommend him as a contract designer or as a full-time member of the team.” – Nicholas Bender, Product Manager at TAPP Water S.L.
“Miro is a great designer, period! Worked with him on my patented wheelbarrow over one year. He is a professional by all means. I must say, I wasn’t always easy on him, I’m a perfectionist myself, but he was always patient with me, understandable and procreative.” — Ben Sykora, Owner of ECRA Homes LLC.
“We chose to work with Miroslav for our new community logo at barcelonaexpats.com and other branding material. After a short brief of our ideas, he delivered in a short time the first proposal: it was a perfect match! We will definitely work together on other projects, and we recommend 100% this young Barcelona artist.” — Daniele C Ferrari, Founder of BarcelonaExpats
