Product designer

I'm a product designer living in Thessaloniki, designing products at Desquared.

Before that, I co-founded with a dev friend Offload Studio, taking small projects, similar to what I was already doing as a freelance designer.

Lately, with the shift that the industry takes, I explore my ideas in code, where previously could not since I never committed into learning code (although I started as a web developer and I do know basic frontend coding)

Specifically, I've been turning my designs into motion or interactive designs instead of delivering static mockups.

Personal projects

Destination menu

A fluid move-to-folder menu - spring physics, morphing icons, light & dark.

Plutus

An iOS app made with Claude, fully avoiding the use of Figma.

Interaction card

Exploring the use of AI into animating designs, like cards for example, making the dev handoff of an idea easier than providing a mockup and a spec sheet.

Writing

2026

I Replaced Figma Wireframes with SwiftUI PrototypesEight hours to prototype an iOS expense tracker in SwiftUI with Claude Code - why it replaces gray-box wireframes, where it falls short, and what you only catch on device.One way I've been using AI daily for designOne of my best use cases of an AI tool in the current era.My first website post ever I guessOn writing, monologuing, and a YouTube channel from 2012.
