So, who is this person?

Sup, I'm Vasilis

I'm a senior product designer with html prototyping skills based out of Athens. In my spare time I like working on nonprofit projects.

I enjoy working with committed teammates with a strong sense of humanity. The choices I make are guided by the wellbeing of people, communities and the environment.

Kind words

I was more than fortunate to come across a person like Vasilis. He is one of the most creative & cooperative people I have worked with. His ability to turn complex ideas into simple, functional workflows & designs is more than impressive. Beauty & top usability is what describes best his work. His optimism, politeness & modesty along with his skills make him a true must-have partner & collaborator.

I am really honored to have worked with Vasilis.

How I (ideally) gets down

Finding simple solutions to complex problems is a task that I typically split up into the following steps:

Multiple user journeys
Wireframe top 3
Figma prototypes
User research with success criteria in mind
Feedback based iteration
Hi-fi mockups
HTML prototypes
User testing
Feedback based iteration
Developer handoff

Alternatively, if resources are unavailable, a team can speed things up moving on based on assumptions.

I enjoy prototyping and debugging the look and feel of my designs in multiple devices simultaneously →

My current desktops

My screens, my apps, my humps.
