Hi! Welcome to my portfolio. I am

Iordanis Prodromou, a third year

Industrial Design student at the

Eindhoven University of Technology.





VISION

In a world where technology and design are deeply rooted into the fabric of
daily life, my vision as a designer is to coordinate innovative solutions
leveraging profound user insights and business strategies. The rapid advancement
of technology has given rise to new products, systems, and services, which while
powerful, can sometimes yield negative impacts on individuals and society at
large. Reflecting on my daily use of my phone, I see firsthand both the
positives of connectivity and information access, and the negatives like
addictive social media use and privacy concerns.




As a designer, my goal is to challenge this narrative. I strive to leverage user
experience design and research methods to create experiences that not only
satisfy user needs but also safeguard their wellbeing. How can we retain the
connective power of social media while mitigating its potential harm on mental
health? How do we design digital systems that respect privacy as much as they
seek to personalize?




During my studies, I realized that for design to be a transformative force, it
must balance meaningful innovation with feasibility and viability. Therefore, my
vision extends beyond crafting solutions that enhance user experience and
intuitive interaction; it encompasses ensuring these solutions are practical and
implementable. This involves adopting an iterative design process that
emphasizes continuous testing and refinement. By actively collaborating with and
incorporating feedback from multiple stakeholders, I will ensure my design
solutions provide collective value to users, organizations, and society.




By combining continuous learning, innovative thinking, and rigorous research
with a commitment to ethical design practices, I aim to create products that not
only serve humanity but do so through the ethical use of innovation and
technology. My vision is to lead the creation of digital systems that enhance
life quality without compromising wellbeing, thereby contributing positively to
society at large.





IDENTITY

I regard myself as a user-centered strategic designer, deeply committed to
creating innovative solutions that prioritize user needs and societal
well-being, while bringing value to all stakeholders involved. My professional
identity is defined by my ability to employ user experience design and research
methods to craft solutions that are not only desirable and meaningful, but also
viable and feasible. By integrating business strategies and leveraging my
technical acumen to assess feasibility, I ensure that my designs can be
realistically implemented and sustained in the market. My empathetic nature and
strong listening skills enable me to deeply understand users' perspectives,
ensuring that my designs are both relevant and impactful.




I am known for my ability to communicate effectively and work well with people,
thriving in interdisciplinary teams where diverse ideas and expertise converge.
My entrepreneurial spirit drives me to constantly seek new opportunities and
challenges, while my ambition and grit ensure that I persevere through obstacles
and setbacks. However, I am also aware of my tendency to be overconfident and
sometimes rely too heavily on my instincts rather than analytical processes.
This self-awareness is a crucial aspect of my professional growth, as I
continuously strive to balance intuition with data-driven decision-making.




My design process is iterative and grounded in the Design Thinking approach,
with a strong emphasis on stakeholder engagement and qualitative user-centered
design and research approaches. I begin by conducting thorough research to
gather insights into user needs and contextual factors. This involves direct
user engagement through interviews, observations, and workshops, which allows me
to empathize with users and define their pain points and desires. I then ideate
solutions, often sketching and rapid prototyping to visualize concepts,
sometimes involving users in the process using co-design methods. These
prototypes are tested and refined through iterative cycles, incorporating
feedback from users and other stakeholders to ensure the final design is both
effective and feasible. I utilize business design tools such as the Business
Model Canvas and the Value Framework to ensure that my solutions are not only
innovative but also viable in the market.




I thrive in team environments, finding that interdisciplinary collaboration
enhances the design process by bringing together diverse skills and viewpoints.
I am adept at articulating design decisions and facilitating discussions that
integrate input from various stakeholders, ensuring that the final product is
well-rounded and collectively valued. However, I sometimes find myself holding
too firmly to my ideas and approaches. That said, I also value and enjoy
individual work, where I can focus deeply on specific design challenges and
apply my expertise to develop detailed solutions.




In summary, my professional identity is characterized by a holistic and
user-centric approach to design, a collaborative and communicative work style,
and an strategic mindset. I am dedicated to continuous learning and ethical
design practices, aiming to create solutions that not only meet user needs but
also contribute positively to society.
