A brief introduction

Mesa is my consulting practice's solo-human studio. My name is Angelos, and I work with businesses to maximize impact via strategy, design, and operational excellence. I've spent the last two decades building systems and structures to support human-centered and planet-first solutions. I've worked with anything from early-stage companies to Finland's largest corporations.

Working together

01

Strategic Design

I strengthen your product development through research, co-design, and rapid prototyping by discovering and describing user needs holistically. My work is embracing uncertainty to imagine alternative solutions, and using prototypes to test ideas through an iterative, participatory approach.

02

Foundations

I build and define design systems that scale a product effectively. Documentation and component libraries enable faster development, ensure brand consistency, and reduce technical debt. By establishing clear design standards and collaboration, I help your teams work smarter.

03

Fractional Leadership

My design operations expertise helps you keep your design team effective and sane without the overhead of a full-time design executive. I structure the employee experience, establish career levels, and align design processes with the rest of the product organisation. This flexible approach provides senior-level design guidance when you need it, ensuring your team stays productive and focused on high-impact work.

04

Facilitation

I lead focused workshops that turn abstract challenges into actionable plans. These structured sessions align stakeholders, define clear priorities, and produce tangible outcomes. Whether planning a new product or improving existing processes, I help teams make decisions effectively and move projects forward with purpose.
