Originally from Greece, I studied industrial design where I learned about the impact design has and how it affects peoples everyday lives. This led me to join product design lab for three years, a place that helped me improve my problem solving skills. This was the moment that I started seeing myself more as a designer and maker.
Going forward, I now live in Hamburg, Germany - where I continue building products and services that impact they lives of people all around the world. I find joy in my work when I am able to collaborate with multiple roles and people and create experiences that have a net positive impact. From 2020 and after I was able to work on various industries and projects, authoring many design systems and ui kits as well as build complex B2B products.
Some facts about me
During my career I have taken the role of a founding or sole designer multiple times. During these periods i wore many hats in order to ship products but I always followed three principles.
Leveraging user insights and analytics to inform design decisions, ensuring solutions are grounded in empirical evidence and user behavior.
Creating cohesive and scalable design systems that promote consistency, efficiency, and flexibility across products and platforms.
Crafting purposeful and meaningful experiences by aligning design decisions with user needs, business goals, and brand values.
