About Rodi

The designer who builds rooms where real ideas happen.

"You are not just users. You are co-creators of the next version."

Rodi, opening every workshop

I'm a UI/UX Designer on the Customer Experience & Commercial Team at Snappi Bank Greece's first ECB-licensed neobank. I design both the product and the processes that bring real users into shaping it.

My workshops are structured sprints where participants startup founders, fintech teams, students leave having built something real: an insight, a feature idea, a mindset shift. Proven at TEDx Mavili Square and twice at Snappi Hub with university students across very different backgrounds.

Common Questions

FAQ

What is a co-creation workshop?+
A structured session where participants actively contribute to designing a product or service not just observing. Using design thinking, they develop empathy for users, identify friction points, and propose real solutions.
Do participants need a design background?+
Not at all. The workshops are built to work for people with no design experience. The best insights often come from participants who've never thought about UX before.
How long does a workshop last?+
The conference format runs 25 minutes and fits into any event programme. The full format runs approximately 90 minutes. Both adapt to your time constraints and audience size.
Are you available outside Greece?+
Yes. Based in Athens, available for events across Greece and Europe. Travel logistics can be arranged as part of the engagement.
Can the workshop be tailored to my industry?+
Absolutely. Built for fintech but the methodology transfers to any product or service context. Personas, friction scenarios, and framing all adapt to your domain.
