My name is Manousos, I am 27 years old and I am an Interdisciplinary Digital and Creative Professional with an emphasis in Digital and Graphic Design hailing from Athens, Greece.
I am also a Psychology Undergraduate of Marconi University of Rome.
Here's what I seem to have a knack on
Digital & Graphic Design
Those are the creative disciplines I had the pleasure to spend the past 6 years honing and perfecting. They are my "main game" and what I very much specialise in.
Take a look at each of my case studies individually to get a glimpse of my aesthetic competence.
Video Editing and Motion
Motion Graphics and Videowork are another two crucial aspects of my creative arsenal that I had to explore over the past 6 years to enhance my overall knowledge and skills.
I take pride in my knowledge of Premiere Pro and After Effects CC, as it was the first creative software I happened to get hands-on experience with.
Web and UX/UI design
God I love IA.
Solid Information Architecture and digital psychology are the main determinants as to why someone will chime in and download that free e-book you’re giving away to collect leads or purchase those D&G shoes you’re selling when they firstly land on your page.
Copywriting
Creative Copywriting is another big passion of mine, and something I find myself coming back to constantly due to my love for the brilliance of good advertising.
When it comes to LinkedIn work, over the past 4 years I've successfully aided more than 40 clients in landing a prosperous job on their niche, both under Bridge and as a freelancer.

FAQs
Okay spill the beans. What was your Spotify Wrapped like?
57K minutes of pure post-punk, darkwave, 80s synth, alternative rock, indie and folk bliss.
Oh and podcasts.
How long did it take to build this website?
2 weekends, I spent 3 hours each.
You seem to be doing many things. Why not specialise in one discipline?
Interdisciplinarity and career resilience go hand-in-hand.
Also, boredom.
Do you have any hobbies or are you like, not fun at parties?
I am very fun at parties. I'm great at whispering sweet little nothings.
Jokes aside, I do happen to enjoy cooking, anime, photography, travelling, chess, a good TV series, a good sitcom (not Big Bang, that's a bad sitcom) and reading psychology textbooks.
