Who am I? I’m a Greek-born Egyptian, first generation American, and a self-taught designer. I’ve learned the true synergy of form and function by selling hats to strangers on the internet, the power of storytelling, craft, and identity from helping manage a beer brand’s relevancy among millennials, and that design is not only something we see, but something we experience managing a fourteen-room boutique hotel in Soho, New York City.

Today, I design and build beautiful digital products and experiences that are smart, modern, and easy-to-use. I have a diverse cultural, professional, and academic background that’s equipped me with a perspective that is uniquely my own. I have built a foundation of life-long learning, high adaptability to change, and analytical problem-solving.

Principles I live by:

Good design is instantly recognizable, yet seamlessly integrated

Progress, not perfection.

Everything is figure-out-able.
