πŸ‘‹ Hello!

Born in Cyprus, my design adventure began at my father’s signage company. Growing up, I immersed myself in graphics software, vinyl lettering, and signage, hidden among piles of letters, shaping my creative path.

Post my graduation from the Department of Multimedia and Graphic Arts at the Cyprus University of Technology, I’ve navigated through diverse experiences β€” from Fintech startups to steering the success of established brands and digital products.

My design process embraces simplicity and strategic planning, guided by user-centric research and iterative design.

Living in Amsterdam, enjoying the β›ˆοΈgreat weather picturesque canals, I share my design expertise to the gaming industry as a Lead Visual Designer for Newzoo.
