FAQ

Eleni,why did you name your website www.padelenis.com?

Padelenis is the result of combining my first name and last name. I named it this way because it sounds cool to me.

Eleni, would you consider this section an informal CV?

Exactly. I like the idea of having a few questions that I’d want people I work with to ask me, aside from the obvious, that I love fuchsia. I promise the other questions are more interesting!

Eleni, can you sum up what you do in one title?

Choosing one title leaves out many possibilities! If I had to describe myself, I’d say I’m a tech enthusiast. Anyone reading this shouldn’t assume I’m a master of many fields, I simply find a lot of things interesting: websites, 3D, motion, animation, illustration. I believe this magic kit can lead to very interesting work.
I’m working towards gaining proficiency in all these areas.

Is there something someone should know about you before working with you?

Yes. I value good manners just as much as good deliverables. I don’t see work as a reason to forget we’re human. I believe in collaborations built on respect, clear communication, a shared rhythm and of course, challenges! No one grows without them.
For me, having a safe environment really matters, because that’s where real growth can actually happen.

Eleni, what does your work mean to you? And what would you like it to mean to others?

I think that when you stick with something you love, sooner or later it challenges you to grow, usually in unexpected, slightly awkward, but weirdly exciting ways. And if you succeed, you end up creating things that feel real. Maybe even useful. Maybe even beautiful.
For me, work is the path to that. And I hope that along the way I find — or am found by — other curious minds. Maybe together we'll make something playfully meaningful and, most importantly, delightfully weird and fresh for the world.

What are your thoughts on AI? Do you use it in your work?


I believe that any new technology brings opportunities for innovation. Artificial intelligence can be a very useful and supportive tool. Although I haven’t extensively used it professionally (yet), I’m eager to explore it further.

Eleni, how long did it take to make such an awesome website?

Thanks for the compliment. This one, is the first one I've made and I'm sure there have been many mistakes in trying to get it right. It took me quite a while, about 3 months.

Do you believe in aliens?

Yes.
