UI/UX Designer

Hello, I’m Christoforos Venetsanakis UI /UX Designer Creative As F*ck

UI/UX Designerand Entrepreneur Based in Heraklion.

I’m Christoforos, a UX/UI Product Designer blending design craft with product thinking.

My journey began in 2020 when I co-founded Renthis2me — a peer-to-peer rental marketplace where I designed the MVP, validated it with users, and helped secure a €300K valuation through pre-seed funding. That early exposure to real-world product building shaped how I design today: user-first, fast, and goal-oriented.

Since then, I co-founded Recomelius, a design agency for small businesses, and led the full digital transformation of a traditional retail company. Today, I work at NET Mechanics designing clean, conversion-focused interfaces for B2B projects — always through lean, validated design processes.
