About me

Hi! I’m Thelxi, a product designer based in Stockholm.

I have an MSc in Computer Engineering and Informatics and an EngD in User-System Interaction. I’ve been a product/ux/ui/interaction designer since 2010.

My story

I’ve always been creative in one way or the other; painting, stop-motion animation, dressmaking. Throughout my teenage years I wanted to study Fine Arts, however my methodical side and love for technology took over and I studied Computer Engineering and Informatics instead.
The creative bug, though, never left me. I sought the more colourful aspects of engineering during my studies, which led me to human computer interaction and game design. That took me to the Netherlands, where I obtained an Engineering Doctorate in User-System Interaction. At that point in time, I worked a lot on physical object experience design, mostly in perinatal healthcare in collaboration with Dutch maternity wards and Philips Research. In 2013, I moved to Stockholm and worked as an Interaction Designer for Scandinavian Airlines, designing for the web, the apps, but also airport check-in kiosks and inflight entertainment! In 2016, back in my hometown, Athens, I started my 6-year journey with Workable. There I led the product design, hands-on, for the candidate experience and candidate sourcing solutions and also managed a team of senior product designers. I learned how agile teams work and how to ally with product managers and software engineers to craft great product design. In 2022 I moved back to Stockholm where I’ve been living with my family ever since.

Since 2023 I’ve been designing for Clerk, a tool offering developers a complete solution to add authentication and user management to their applications.

More about me

  • I like sketching and sewing. I’m a chronic newbie at knitting.
  • I like buying books and then complaining about having too many. My most recent loved book is Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout. My all time favorite is probably Haruki Murakami’s Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World.
  • Lately, I’m obsessed with Legos.
  • In 2019 I started a project called motherhood, and I’m experimenting on that since then 🙂
