Hello world! I’m Stefanos.

I’m a designer-first design engineer. I connect research, design and #code to create accessible products that work in the real world. More than 10 years across complex professional tools, industrial interfaces, #product-design and #design-systems.

Is it me you’re looking for?

My route into design engineering is designer-first. I’m more of a designer who can code than an engineer who can design. My recent roles—Design Researcher, UX Lead and Design System Owner—map my comfort zone: industrial-grade, often safety-critical interfaces; complex professional tools; and digital products that need to earn trust. Sharing knowledge is central to how I work with others.

I do my best work:

  • Embedded in teams building or scaling design systems.
  • On impactful products where accessibility and compliance with ISO/ISA standards matter.
  • Where it is hard to tell where design ends and development begins.
  • With designers, product managers and engineers who welcome feedback and want fewer handoffs and better outcomes.

If you need an experienced product designer, a design systems partner, or someone who can both think and ship, let’s talk.
