Helping a good friend with his wonderful 1800s built guest house, using digital product management techniques. I am managing bookings, day to day operations, arrivals, provisions, expectations, and desire fulfillment. I took this job as it is a great challenge and an opportunity to refresh my social skills and improve ad-hoc solution finding response under pressure with multiple stakeholders with absolutely no room for no as an answer. A great opportunity for exploring deeper in UX concepts and principles, and into my user focused product management approach. My Goals: Ensuring an excellent fill rate and high levels of customer satisfaction. My Achievements: Over 10% fill rate increase from year to year due to live price optimizations, and significant customer satisfaction average around 9.3 by providing personalized support, increasing the average rate of the guest house from 8.2 to 9. From Good, to Wonderful. An increase of well over 12% overall in guest satisfaction and over 20% in revenue and a modest decrease in operational costs.

Turning ideas into an actual VR product. In this brilliant startup, I am responsible for budgeting, external team management, production planning, content strategy, and more. Sharing my expertise in the field of video games production and design to the next generation of AI powered Virtual Reality experiences.

As an instructor of VFX and Animation in the Cinematography department i had the pleasure to interact and come in contact with brilliant young aspiring cinematographers as well as established legends of Greek cinematography such as the award winning director Pandelis Voulgaris, the award winning director of photography Nikos Gardelis, award winning animation director Stratos Stasinos, as well as other established cinematography professionals who i was lucky to coexist under the same educational roof for about 4 years and learned from their vast experience as well as introduced young people in the magical world of VFX and Digital Animation. This was an eye opening experience in the creative world of cinematography and its business.

I was involved as 3d artist generalist with specialization in environment art. With the guidance of the Lead Designer and under the supervision of the Art Director, i created various monsters and animals rigged and even in some cases animated them as well as other environmental content and established a custom manual terrain generation pipeline which i implemented with 2 team members under my supervision. It appears that Environment diversity and its huge handcrafted world, is also one of the strong points of the game (other ofc than the innovative fast action gameplay). I learned a lot about game and level design from the team there as well as other technical aspects of game development. Had a great time! Cheers Guys!

Created content for Autostereoscopic Presentations, Dome Theaters, and Virtual Rides and conversion of conventional to stereoscopic films and other audiovisual content among others.I was involved as a generalist responsible for establishing the pipeline, generation of content at the given quality and technical specifications using proprietary as well as a wide range of 3d VFX and post production tools. I did a lot of R&D on proprietary production pipelines and learned a lot about hardware rendering systems, virtual reality as well as HD digital streaming hardware, virtual visualization and broadcasting systems and a lot more.

Established the studio initially as a partner which developed and played a revolutionary and dominant role in the field of media and DTP in the area. One of its major accomplishments was among others the design and publication of Adobe Magazine for Greece and Cyprus.The introduction and establishment of various brands of products, major international athletic and cultural events events through print and digital advertising as well as the development of web solutions. "anima studios" closed its doors 2 years ago after 10 successful and creative years. I learned a lot about applied graphic design, art, and running a business.

This is an activity. I am not hired by Autodesk. It is an Honour, Pleasure and Privilege, to be a select member of a closed team that peers into the future of our tools and helps shape it, to a certain degree.
