Info
I'm Manos. I care about one moment. The second time someone opens what I made. The first time is curiosity. The second is a choice. I design for the choice.
How I work
“We are what we repeatedly do, and we think with what we repeatedly learn.”
Aristotle taught that we are built by habit. Descartes, that we exist because we think. I put the two together and made it a practice. Each product makes the next one better. Every decision comes with a reason I can articulate.
