About me
Currently an Illustration student at Camberwell College of Arts in London. She has always been passionate to work with everything visual or 3D, from photography to digital art to product design. At the moment she is focusing on innovation design for her last year of the BA course. As a topic of her dissertation she researched on the influence of design technology in human enhancement, which had a great impact on her studio work. As an organised and creative individual, she focuses on achieving the best outcome in her work and challenge herself to work within a dynamic and fast paced working environment.

  • όrasiς, the έBOT
    όrasiς, the έBOTThe drawing machine “όrasis”, (sight/vision), is controlled by your eye movement. The software is an open source gaze tracker in OpenCV that requires only a webcam to work.

  • Learning Greek with Gogos
    Learning Greek with GogosWhen we were given the brief, I decided to make a children’s book that would help the user to learn the Greek language. My main character is the pig, who goes in different adventures in the book. The prototype of the interactive book plays a gif whenever a button is pressed. All this is controlled through an arduino which is recognized as a “keyboard”. Therefore, when a specific button is pressed is recognised in css as a letter and plays the gif for the specific word.

    Experience with an international and successful company. Knowledge regarding the marketplace and how to advertise a product with a main focus was to increase the sales of a product. The part I liked the most was not that I only had to create advertisements but also to think about how they will be presented in different shops and supermarkets in order to increase consumption.
