Creative Lead

Hello, My name is Manos, and I'm a Creative Lead based in Athens with over 14 years of experience across branding, digital design, creative strategy, and team leadership.

I've worked across agencies, fast-growing tech companies, and in-house creative teams, including roles at Yodeck, Novibet, Viva Wallet, McCann, and Ogilvy. My background combines creative direction, UX thinking, campaign development, and collaborative problem solving across digital products, brand systems, and multi-channel experiences.

Throughout my career, I've led multidisciplinary teams, developed scalable design systems, facilitated creative alignment across stakeholders, and delivered projects that balance strong visual storytelling with strategic business goals. I'm also deeply interested in innovation, AI-assisted creative workflows, and building experiences that are both engaging and outcome-driven.

I bring a collaborative mindset, strong communication skills, and a passion for turning complex ideas into clear and meaningful experiences.
