About

I'm Eleni, a product designer based in Madrid with roots in Athens and Caracas. These days I work mostly in medical technology and VR, where the stakes of a confusing interface are a little higher than usual — and where I've found the focus I want to keep building my career around.

Most of my recent work has been on a VR visual field testing platform for ophthalmology clinics — designing the in-headset experience, the clinician dashboard, and the documentation that keeps it all compliant with EU MDR. I also spend a lot of time on localization, building interfaces that hold up across eight languages and counting.

I think good design is a kind of care — paying attention to the person on the other side of the screen, especially when that person might be anxious, tired, or in pain.

    Started out designing social-first content, until a stint as an entrepreneur showed me what good UX could do — and sent me back to study UX/UI and usability.

When I'm not designing

I'm usually drawing on Procreate, working on a crochet project that's taking far longer than planned, or hunting for secondhand fashion finds — Madrid's mercadillos are dangerous for someone who likes a good vintage blazer.
