About Me
I am Antrea Papaioannou, a passionate Product Design Engineer with experience in both digital and physical products.
I am experienced in the whole designing process, starting with receiving the initial customer specification and understanding the technical aspects of the job, drawing up the design, and up to the stage of presenting the finished prototype or product to the customers.
I have a passion to be involved in the creation of designs that are aesthetically pleasing while being mechanically and technically sound. I am accustomed to working under pressure and am a natural problem solver with the ability to come up with innovative solutions to produce the most appealing products on the market. I have proven to learn fast and, therefore, perform well independently on individual tasks that are outside of my comfort zone.
