The Creative Journey of Recomelius: A Story of Talent, Design, and Innovation
In a fast-paced world where online presence defines a company’s success, Recomelius emerged as a creative design studio with a simple goal: to help businesses thrive through user-centered websites and strategic design. This wasn’t just a business idea, but the result of a journey built on passion, collaboration, and innovation.
The Team Behind Recomelius
Recomelius was co-founded by Christoforos Venetsanakis and Johny Rotsi, two individuals driven by a shared vision but with unique talents.
- Christoforos specializes in UI/UX design, with a deep understanding of creating visually compelling and user-friendly websites.
- Johny, a highly skilled software engineer, focuses on building the technical foundation for the websites we design, ensuring functionality, security, and scalability.
Together, we’ve combined our expertise to create digital experiences that don’t just look good but deliver real results.
The Birth of Recomelius
The idea for Recomelius came to life after the end of Renthis2me, a startup I co-founded. After diving into the world of startups and learning the Lean Startup methodology, I realized my true passion lay in design and user experience. With that knowledge, I teamed up with Johny to create Recomelius, a creative studio that offers both custom design and high-quality development solutions.
What started as a small project soon turned into a growing business. Our word-of-mouth success quickly expanded, leading us to work on larger projects and take on more complex challenges.
Collaboration and Problem-Solving
Recomelius thrives because of the collaborative nature between me and Johny. While I focus on the creative process, Johny ensures that our designs are fully functional and technically sound. It’s a partnership that works, allowing us to handle every aspect of a project—from concept and design to development and optimization.
A recent example of this collaboration was the Idolio Suite project, where we were responsible for redesigning their booking system website. While I focused on crafting the user interface and experience, Johny developed the system’s architecture, integrating a complex booking system with third-party platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com.
This seamless teamwork allowed us to deliver a website that not only looked great but was fully optimized to handle the client’s needs—leading to better user engagement and ultimately, higher conversions.
Skills and Growth
Over the past few years, I’ve sharpened my skills in UI/UX design, mastering tools like Figma, Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Photoshop. I’ve become obsessed with not just creating beautiful designs but designs that make sense to users and drive results for businesses.
Johny, on the other hand, has continuously improved his technical stack, working with languages like JavaScript, React, and Node.js to create dynamic and responsive websites. His background in software engineering has allowed us to take on more complex projects and offer custom solutions to clients, from small businesses to larger enterprises.
Challenges and Adaptability
Running Recomelius hasn’t always been smooth sailing. We’ve faced challenges, from tight deadlines to managing multiple clients at once. But with every challenge comes growth. We’ve learned to adapt, refine our processes, and, most importantly, continue delivering results that speak for themselves.
At times, I’ve struggled with perfectionism—especially when it comes to designing for Recomelius’ social media presence. I realized that it’s better to put something out there than wait for the perfect moment. These lessons have not only improved our business but have also shaped how I approach design and deadlines today.
What’s Next for Recomelius?
As we continue to grow, our focus remains the same: helping businesses build meaningful digital experiences. Our goal is to work with brands across Europe and America, offering custom design solutions, branding, and web development. Whether it’s creating stunning visuals or ensuring that a website functions flawlessly, we are committed to offering solutions that make a difference.
Final Thoughts
Recomelius is more than just a design studio. It’s a testament to teamwork, adaptability, and continuous learning. For HR teams looking for talent, this journey reflects my commitment to creative problem-solving, client-focused solutions, and a dedication to growth in both design and technology.
Recomelius might have started as an idea between two friends, but it has evolved into a business that is ready to take on new challenges, grow, and innovate in the world of digital design.
