My Philosophy
— Basics are not boring; they are essential.
— Great products come from great collaboration.
Having collaborated with many teams around the world and for many different products, I believe that to give meaningful value to the desired outcome, we need to start with the basic needs.
This is my way of thinking big.
Being agile means reading the room, empathising with the people on the team, actively listening, and learning from them. Everyone has something to give, and this is the power of collaboration.

I was a strategic Head of Digital Product Design for Informa Markets building and leading the first centralised product design team and launching the Smart Event digital system, supporting the company’s global family of trade B2B events. Prior to that, I was a Senior UX/UI Designer at Three, updating the native mobile applications’ experience over registration and the overall usability. Also, I contribute to the business site redesign, helping business users purchase their products in bulk. I have also worked for Atypon Hellas, a John Wiley & Sons subsidiary, as a UX Lead, building and positioning the first internal design team and overseeing their innovative platform, Literatum, helping more than 900 publication websites launch.
As a startup veteran, I have been part of multiple Greek startups, and I still love to support them in all possible ways.
Currently, I am based in magical Edinburgh pretending that I don’t miss the Greek weather at all.
