About me

I'm Stergios, a product designer based in Glasgow. I started out as a computer engineer, which means I think in systems, talk to developers as equals, and find constraints interesting.

I moved into UX design because I wanted to understand people as well as I understood technology. I went to study for an MSc specifically to learn user research properly. That decision shaped how I work. I always design from evidence.

Over twelve years I've worked across healthcare, automotive, pensions, and investing. I'm drawn to products where design actually matters: helping a diabetes patient track their insulin, helping someone understand their pension for the first time or helping people take their first steps into investing.

For the last three years I've been at Barclays, working in wealth and investments. I've designed customer-facing platforms for investment discovery, planning and advice and spent a lot of time working across product, engineering, research, and compliance teams, which in a regulated environment is where a lot of the real design work actually happens.
