Momcilo did a brief "audit" of our UI. He had many fantastic insights and ideas and gave me just the right amount of feedback to push me forward without overwhelming me. Thanks Momcilo!

VideoToFlip is a small family-run business where we turn short videos into beautifully printed flipbooks. What started in 2018 as a fun side project was brought back to life in late 2024, this time with a serious commitment to quality, craft, and joy. We first partnered with local print shops, but inconsistent results pushed us to learn the entire process ourselves. We invested in professional machines and spent months mastering the details of printing, cutting, binding, and finishing each flipbook by hand. Today, every flipbook that leaves our studio is made entirely in-house - from the first frame and binding to the final package. It’s hands-on, detailed work, and we love it. My wife and I handle everything together: she leads the production side, and I take care of business development and the digital experience. We’re always improving - testing new materials, refining our production process, and finding ways to make each flipbook feel special. It’s incredibly fulfilling to build something real with our own hands, knowing that each product we ship makes someone smile :)
