Playground

The Playground is where I explore creative work beyond UI design—ranging from illustration and graphic design to typography. It’s a space to experiment with ideas, refine my craft, and express creativity in different forms. These projects not only reflect my design versatility but also influence the way I approach problem-solving and visual storytelling in product design.

Design Books & Resources

A curated selection of books and articles that have shaped my approach to product design, clarity, and human-centred thinking. These resources reflect the ideas and methods that continue to influence my practice. Τhe list keeps growing as I discover new perspectives and ways of working.

Interaction of Color / Josef Albers

A timeless exploration of how color truly behaves—not in theory, but in practice. This book sharpened the way I see visual relationships, contrast, and perception, and continues to influence how I approach clarity and balance in interface design.

Articulating Design Decisions / Tom Greever

A practical guide that helped me communicate design choices with confidence. Clear thinking, structured reasoning, and better conversations with teams and stakeholders.

The Design of Everyday Things / Don Norman

A classic that deepened my understanding of how people make sense of the world. Great for grounding digital design in real human behavior and meaningful interactions.

Don’t Make Me Think / Steve Krug

A foundational book on usability that shaped how I approach clarity and effortless interaction. A reminder that good design should feel obvious — even when the problem behind it isn’t.
