About me
I am a graduate from the mechanical engineering school (MEng) of National Technical University of Athens and I also hold a MSc(Eng) on Product Design and Management from the University of Liverpool. The combination of my studies has helped me developed a certain mind-set, including both the functioning and aesthetics of products. In addition, I have acute sense of emotional intelligence in design of my surroundings which I implement on new concepts, ideas and products in order to bridge the gap between product and user. For the past years I have been working as product designer for consultancy firm in Cyprus. Working for innovative companies which provide high end products and services worldwide, apart from acquiring deep technical knowledge in design for manufacturing and assembly, I have also developed a high level of understanding about the entire product lifecycle. Furthermore I have experienced the fast pace of idea generation and implementation of innovative product development which was rewarded with the winning of the prestigious Red Dot Design Concept Award 2017 to SineVasto project.
Projects
  • Contact Lenses Liquid Dispenser
    Contact Lenses Liquid DispenserThe conventional way of storing and maintaining contact lenses it consists of placing the contact lenses in a plastic contact lenses case with the use of the appropriate liquid. The proposal design is my personal take on how this storage and maintenance procedure of contact lenses can be modernized by a contact lenses liquid dispenser and a renovate case.
