Celebrating 10 Years of Digital Present: A Decade of Firsts

This year marks a special milestone. Digital Present turns 10.
A full decade of design, development, challenges, growth, and most importantly, people.
When we started back in 2015, we were driven by curiosity, passion, and the belief that digital experiences can create powerful emotions. Today, looking back at our first ten years, we want to celebrate some of the “firsts” that shaped our journey.
First Logo, First Team, First Office
Our journey began with firsts that defined our identity. Our very first logo dates back to May 2015, created by our founder, Ivan, and designed by our lead designer, Ognen. Both were just 23 years old at the time. Our first team was the believers who lit the spark that started it all, and 10 years later, we are still burning bright. Our first office was humble, with bare walls, shaky tables, and big dreams, but it was worth every moment.
First Client, First Website, First Award, First Employee
Our first client, Tonus, entrusted us with their social media and website management. From that initial partnership, we grew into a web development agency, grateful for the trust that started it all. Our first website featured a light bulb, symbolizing the bright ideas we wanted to bring to life, and our first award, Honors & Mobile Excellence from Awwwards, recognized our commitment to digital innovation. People have always been at the heart of Digital Present. Our first employee, Nadja, was the first woman at the company and has been with us for 9 years, becoming a UX expert with 100+ projects behind her.
First Coffee Machine, First Laptop, First Facebook Post
Some firsts were small but meaningful, like our first laptop, which was small but powerful enough to kickstart our vision, our first espresso cup from Gradska Kafeana Skopski Merak, and the very first coffee machine that joined our studio, fueling the long hours and big ideas that built our company. Even our first Facebook post is unforgettable, as we shot a commercial that captured the start of our journey online. These firsts remind us of where we started and inspire us as we look forward to the next decade.
What We’ve Learned in 10 Years
Over the past decade, we have learned several important lessons. Trust is everything, with clients, partners, and within our team. Details matter, from every pixel and animation to every interaction. People come first, and our culture has proven to be our strongest foundation. Above all, curiosity drives growth, and staying adaptive ensures we remain relevant in a constantly evolving digital world.
Looking Ahead
As we enter our second decade, we are more motivated than ever. You can expect more ambitious projects and bolder design and development solutions. We will continue to invest in our team and nurture our company culture. Above all, we remain committed to our promise of creating meaningful digital experiences, shaping digital emotions that truly connect with people.
