About

Hi, I’m Akis Kounellis
Graphic & UI/UX Designer

Graphic Design is at the core of my practice, shaping how I approach typography, composition, identity and visual communication. I bring the same principles into UI/UX, creating digital experiences that are clear, intuitive, accessible and visually considered.

My work moves between brand identities, editorial design, interfaces and design systems, always with a focus on clarity, usability and thoughtful execution. Accessibility is part of how I design, while AI is becoming a practical tool for exploring ideas and working more efficiently.
