About

I'm Ilias, a Product Manager and Creative based in Europe. I'm curious about technology problems and passionate about making experiences easier and more intuitive for people. I spend my time building products that solve real challenges, whether that's streamlining complex workflows or creating interfaces that just make sense.

I believe the best products come from really understanding what people need (not just what they say they want). I've worked with teams across Europe, the Middle East, and North America which gave me a unique perspective on problems across different cultures.

When I'm not having heated debates about 2px vs 4px border radius (it matters!), you'll find me wandering around with my analog camera, taking notes in a Muji notebook, or hunting that perfect corner cafe which will help me focus on that short zine I've been working on since last winter.

Also, I make a great Greek coffee and invite you to test me on that.
