Hey 👋, I'm Ioannis Feneris

I am designing User Experiences and creating Digital Products

Hey, I am Ioannis

I am a Product and UX Strategist, Designer, and Researcher, based in Thessaloniki, Greece.
I love being challenged by design problems. I focus on understanding user behaviors, designing intuitive action flows, and creating great user experiences. But most of all, I focus on happy users of awesome products.

For me, UX is culture: Placing the user in the center of every stage of the creation and the growth of a product, from an idea's conception to the next released version. A recipe for success.

Let's talk about User Experience, Products, Design and Strategy!

Pixelized Pencils

Back in the old days. This project was about designing custom website layouts for special clients, from scratch. It was quite challenging to draw layouts in paper together with the clients, but the result was awesome.
