A new product, a new communication support, a new impulse you want to give to your dev team. It is all a vision you want to realize.
My product designer experience (8 years) is core to what I can provide to realize that idea. My position is to find the right balance between prioritizing the needs and wants of the users while keeping the client happy and content. It usually involves a ton of coffee. This apply to different scales : I can perfectly design the tool you’re envisionning for your business, and at the same time I can lead a front team with designers and developpers to ensure that your project is properly running. I have worked in several fields and I’ve learned from all of them so I’m bringing all the knowledge and quality standards with me.
I managed to keep the attention and actually teach university students at 8h30am on Monday mornings, before coffee, for 3 years! I can perfectly manage anything you will give me.

Website redesign & application design

Beyond The Sky is a company operating in the luxury conciergerie field. Building on the success of Version 1, the project evolved a year later to meet new goals: transforming the website from a static platform into a dynamic, interactive experience.
The objective for this phase was to restructure the content to be more user-centric while presenting information in a clear, engaging way. In addition to the services introduced in Version 1, the updated website introduced several new features:
Our focus was to finalize the features of the User Dashboard and ensure seamless compatibility between the concierge software and the website. I created wireframes to define the structure of the new site, aligning functionality with user needs. The overall aesthetic—luxurious and minimalist—had been established in Version 1 and was thoughtfully carried forward and integrated into Version 2.
The new website became the primary tool for showcasing user journeys and improving engagement. By integrating the Conciergerie software via API, the website transitioned into a user-friendly front-end interface while leveraging the software as its backend.
On-screen graphics / design and animation
I was approached by an intermediary representing the broadcaster of the Greek Basketball League to create all the motion graphics used during their TV broadcasts. The client was flexible with visual requirements, providing me with a creative opportunity to explore different styles.
For this project, I chose to focus on the following key objectives:
Clean and Versatile Design: I aimed to create a design that would be easily adaptable to various stadium backgrounds. Given the wide range of interior environments, it was essential that all elements remained visible and didn’t blend into the background.
Dynamic Animation: A key focus was on animating the elements in a way that made them more prominent and distinct from previous designs. This would enhance viewer engagement and ensure clarity.
Increased Visual Space for Team Identity: I placed a stronger emphasis on the teams’ visual elements—such as logos and associated colors—giving them more space. This would make it easier for viewers to absorb relevant information at a quicker pace.
Ultimately, I delivered a set of 17 cards, complete with screen placements and their corresponding in/out animations. They are still be

Dragons’ Nest is a non-profit organization dedicated to game-based learning and non-formal education. Our activities include animating the tabletop RPG game “Wizards in Training”, creating and facilitating educational workshops, and managing Erasmus+ projects.
The website primarily serves to provide information about:
It is also a means of communication for parents, schools, and partner organizations.
In December 2024, the Dragons’ Nest website underwent a redesign to refresh its visuals and reorganize information into these pages:
Home, Wizards in Training, Erasmus+, Activities, About Us, News, and Contact.
The aesthetics remain playful and youthful while maintaining a professional and reliable tone. Our aim is to engage our younger audience—our primary target group—while also appealing to adults, including participants, parents, and schools. The redesign strikes the perfect balance between playfulness and professionalism to represent our organization’s values and goals.
Role: Head of Design / Project design & management
Dragons’ Nest is a non-profit organization dedicated to game-based learning and non-formal education. It represents the evolution of RPG4kids, a company I co-founded. We recognized that the best way to expand our scope of activities was to undergo a rebranding. As part of this transition, we integrated educational workshops and Erasmus+ projects into our portfolio, alongside our educational game, Wizards in Training.
Following the 2017-2018 school year, we noticed a growing demand from parents (our clients) for additional extracurricular activities for children (our users). In response, we developed a variety of workshops. Mine focused on media-related themes, including my favorite, the stop-motion animation workshop titled “How to Animate Your Dragon.” Stop-motion animation is an excellent educational tool because it requires children to collaborate, problem-solve, and take on multiple roles—such as storyteller, crafter, director, photographer, and editor—in order to complete the film.
Each age group presents different expectations and learning outcomes. For younger children (ages 5-7), the primary goal is to help them connect the steps involved in the process and produce a cohesive story. For older children (ages 8-10), who are better equipped to follow processes, the focus shifts to character and story creation. Additionally, they continue to develop their problem-solving skills through character interactions and story development. What I love about stop-motion animation is its versatility—it can be adapted for various age groups, including adults, while remaining an outstanding medium for expressing creative ideas and stories.
Erasmus+ is a European Union program that supports education, training, youth, and sports across Europe. The program offers funding and opportunities for individuals and organizations to engage in activities that foster learning, skill development, and international cooperation.
As a key member of Dragon’ Nest, my responsibilities in Erasmus+ include:
Project management for the Erasmus+ initiative “Preserving the Future”
Project management for the Erasmus+ project “Empower Your Education”
Conceptualization and design of the Erasmus+ project “MiAnima,” which uses animation as an educational tool.
I have participated / contributed to 17 projects (training courses) to date, including some of my favorites:
Currently, Dragon Nest is a partner in the project “Beyond Likes,” which aims to develop a guide for organizations on utilizing AI applications and social media to maximize efficiency and expand their reach. I serve as the Head of Design for this project.
What I truly appreciate about Erasmus+ is the opportunity for international collaboration. Working with people from diverse cultures, age groups, and languages has taught me invaluable lessons in patience, communication, and adaptability. It’s essential to ensure that nothing gets lost in translation and that all parties are on the same page. Additionally, the experience has enhanced my time management skills, as I’ve learned to balance my own schedule with those of others involved in the projects. I am especially grateful for the chance to live in Krakow for 8 months, which enriched both my personal and professional development.

Beyond The Sky is a startup specializing in luxury concierge services. The company reached out for assistance in setting up its IT systems.
My Role
After assessing the client’s needs, I determined the following priorities:
Given the client’s personal timeline and limited resources, our top priority was to develop a static website. We carefully reviewed and organized all services, finalized a cohesive color palette, and created the website using WordPress and Elementor for simplicity and cost-effectiveness.
Design Goals
The primary goals were to establish online presence and enhance public awareness of Beyond The Sky.
For the homepage, I aimed to present essential information in a clean, engaging way without overwhelming the user. Key details include:
Dedicated pages were designed for in-depth service descriptions, but the homepage needed to immediately capture user attention.
Aesthetic Approach
The visual identity was crafted to reflect the brand’s core values: luxury, comfort, exclusivity, and memorable experiences.
Color Palette: Elegant and cohesive to exude sophistication.
Typography: Chosen for its blend of modernity and refinement.
Photos & Animations: Carefully selected and styled to reinforce the sense of exclusivity and luxury.
By September 2023, the project was fully delivered. The first version of the website was live, and the client was thrilled with the results. The new online presence significantly enhanced the credibility of their project.
Educational role-playing game
“Wizards in Training” emerged from a moment of inspiration. As avid TTRPG (tabletop role-playing game) players, we realized how many skills we had developed or refined simply by engaging with the game. This sparked a question: could a role-playing game serve as a foundation for learning? By transforming the traditional student-teacher relationship into the roles of adventurer and storyteller, our aim was to inspire students to step back, explore, and actively seek knowledge.
A team of four—two teachers, a game designer, and a product designer (me!) —came together to further develop this concept. Our goal was to design a TTRPG tailored for elementary school children, focusing on fostering soft skills and life skills. Collaboratively, we established all the game mechanics, built the world, and created the characters who inhabited it. In addition to contributing to these aspects, I was also responsible for designing all visual assets, including maps, character sheets, item cards, and eventually the storyteller’s guide. We also served as storytellers during early sessions.
Following numerous rounds of playtesting and refinement, the game was validated by a child psychologist/psychiatrist in Greece. This professional endorsement was a critical milestone, allowing us to confidently present the program to schools and parents. The business model centered on after-school sessions for small groups of up to five children, meeting weekly throughout the school year. These sessions aimed to develop soft skills while also supporting academic growth.
Shortly after, we began sessions at our first school. From those initial groups of children, we saw firsthand how deeply they immersed themselves in the story and connected with their characters. Personally, I still find it incredible to watch the kids learn, grow, and evolve through storytelling. Seeing our theory come to life has been profoundly rewarding. Through their characters, children explore challenges in a safe environment, gain self-awareness, and develop critical skills. We maintained active communication with parents and teachers to better support each child’s individual goals.
After a successful first year of collaboration with a school, we established a company to expand the program. I took responsibility for designing all marketing materials, including flyers, brochures, and the company website. We continued working with our first school, began a partnership with a second, and eventually launched our own dedicated space to host sessions and workshops.
As demand grew, we expanded our team, recruiting and training additional educators and storytellers. My role evolved to include ongoing support for the storytelling team, ensuring they had the tools, materials, and guidance needed to deliver engaging and impactful sessions.
