My career so far…
I began my career as a graphic designer in 2002, working in publishing houses and design studios in Athens, Greece. I have worked both in-house and as a freelancer, collaborating with educational publishers such as Cengage Learning, Macmillan Hellas, and Longman Pearson.
In 2011, I moved to the UK and worked as a Managing Designer for Pearson Education. I later transitioned to Macmillan Education (Springer Nature), where I led the design of global educational projects. I focused on creating visually engaging, user-friendly materials that enhanced learning experiences for diverse, international audiences.
My passion for design has always been about making information clear and engaging, leading me to explore how thoughtful digital experiences can create real impact.
Why UX?
Seeing the impact of well-designed educational materials inspired my transition to UX, a natural progression that aligns my skills and passion for creating accessible, functional, and engaging experiences.
In May 2024, I earned a Master’s degree in UX Design (Distinction) from Falmouth University, while gaining hands-on experience through freelance projects and a contract UX role. These opportunities deepened my commitment to user-centred design and real-world problem-solving.
Based in St Albans with my young family, I’m excited for my next professional challenge, ready to contribute my expertise to meaningful, innovative projects.
