Everyday.’ This is a moto for his new endeavor, supporting and rewarding the everyday hero stories. And this is just the beginning. With fans all over the world, Mirotic the brand is on its way to secure him a career, long after the basketball days are gone.
My name is Nikola and I’m your award-winning, LA-based designer, concept creator, and branding expert. Hello! I’m Nikola Vucicevic, a passionate, award-winning brand designer, innovator, and entrepreneur from Serbia, currently based in Los Angeles. I graduated from the University of Belgrade with a masters in graphic design and visual communication and started my career at New Moment. Since then, I’ve worked at Leo Burnett, McCann Erickson, and several more creative agencies. In 2006, I started my own design studio where I served clients like Asics, L’Oreal, and McCann Erickson. In 2007, I was invited to join the 1000 Young Leaders of Serbia, an association organized by the office of the President, where my team and I developed an award-winning project about cross-border cooperation that was presented to the Serbian government. The success of that project gave me the opportunity to work as an art director for Boris Tadic’s successful presidential re-election campaign in 2008. In 2013, I relocated to the United States, where I added several more high-profile clients to my portfolio, including Dais Technologies, AON, and Prada. With stellar design, I’ve helped my clients close nine-figure contracts and achieve both commercial success and big-brand awareness. I’ve also been recognized by several organizations for my top-ranking work with international clients from more than 27 countries — from startups to Fortune 500 companies. In my free time, I like to read up on the latest trends in technology and innovation, creative industries, and fashion. When I’m not playing tennis or enjoying the outdoors, you can find me experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.
