Been around Athens since 1984.
Got involved with graphic design, litho printing, the web and creative projects, not long after turning 15.
Took a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic and Media Design: Design for Advertising from London College of Communication, after an exploration year at Chelsea College of Art & Design. During this period worked freelance in numerous advertising and branding projects between Athens and London with individual clients and agencies, including Leo Burnett Athens and Lunch London.
Co-founded Don’t Panic Athens in 2008, a Greek branch to the originally British youth advertising agency and free press publication. After a brief internship at DDB Athens worked at Savvy Partners as Art Director, at Cosmos Lac as an in-house Art Director & Brand Manager for the Σ80 brand, at Hippie Monkeys as a UX Designer & Art Director and at Interweave Agency as a Senior Designer. Currently working with own clients and in collaboration with agencies.
Created for numerous brands since 2006, including: Red Bull, Levi's, Fnac, Metaxa, The Museum of Cycladic Art, Multirama, Hotel Casino Loutraki, Toyota, Pharmathen, Cosmos Lac, Bodytalk, Phi Beta Sigma, Public Art Festival, Grecotel, AEK, Greek Rovers and the Onassis Cultural Centre.
Got involved with interiors gradually, starting in 2008 while living in a tiny London apartment, before expanding to product design, furniture design and at times, entire buildings.
• user-centered design (a way of thinking and approaching briefs, as well as writing them)
• problem solving properties (addressing directly a specific problem)
• materials and techniques with a lifespan that could exceed 100 years (as it has been well proven by elements we see in buildings of the 1920s)
are some of the characteristics that describe best most previous and ongoing projects, be it a 30 euro storage bed that protects two dimensional artworks from potential floods, or a 700K mixed-use building.
