& bright colours.
Hi, I’m Mario Takousies, a Design Director based in London with a passion for crafting thoughtful, inclusive digital experiences. I’m drawn to bold colours, music that moves, and the beauty of unexpected shapes.
Since starting my career in 2006, I’ve built over 18 years of experience in design, growing from hands-on UI work to leading design strategy and teams. I’ve specialised in creating intuitive web and native interfaces, developing scalable design systems, and championing accessibility throughout the process. My work spans industries like travel, retail, automotive, fashion, and art, each one shaping how I approach design with empathy and impact.
Currently, my focus is on leadership and strategic direction. I thrive on guiding and empowering multidisciplinary teams to create innovative, user-friendly, and visually compelling digital products. My leadership style emphasises collaboration, talent development, and a relentless commitment to delivering results that align with both user needs and business goals.
Outside of work, you’ll often find me exploring London with a camera in hand. I travel to reset and re-frame my thinking, and when it’s time to recharge, music (techno or classical) is my go-to space for focus and creativity.
I’m always open to new opportunities and collaborations, feel free to get in touch or download my CV.
