My mission is to apply meaningful design to improve people's lives.
👋 Hey I'm Ioannis, most of the people call me "John". I'm a Greek UX/UI designer with a knack for turning complex problems into intuitive designs.
I began my career in web development, which gave me the opportunity to gain multiple skills and knowledge that allowed me to design completed solutions from the ground up. Additionally, made me realise how crucial it is to establish a user-centric design process and how important is the communication between design and code, in order to accomplish business objectives, successful systems and find solutions for actual user problems.
Fun facts about me
I judge websites like people judge restaurant menus
I can cook exactly three dishes, but I plate them like they belong on a Michelin-starred menu
I can pack a suitcase with Tetris-level precision.
Outside of design you will find me listen to podcasts or music, watching greek tv series on repeat, read a book, workout and hanging out with friends.
