I am a curious, self-driven graphic designer with a wide interest in the world, passionate about arts, social good, climate change, emerging technologies and politics. I landed in Scotland a few years ago for a holiday and decided to stay and study.
I believe in a more diverse, and more equal, sustainable society and I strive to deliver solutions and communicate ideas that contribute to the social and cultural improvement of the audiences and communities at the centre of my work. I believe that Graphic design is passion and not just a job. It is more than aesthetics and just how something looks, is about how something works. Graphic design is about solving problems and communicating ideas.
I am passionate about branding, typography and editorial design and I am very interested in strategy, motion graphics, and UX/UI. In my spare time you can catch me planning my next holidays, enjoying good coffee, food, music, reading, exploring with my camera and thinking about how I can change the world.

The roots of the event can be traced to the old custom of the two enemy local churches who engaged in a rocket-war by firing tens of thousands of home-made firework rockets to solve their differences. The island of Chios has a long tradition with religion and it is now the gateway for refugees entering Europe. Despite the
- EthicoThis app was my response to a live brief by Good Creative, which I was required to design a brand or a product that works for the greater good. The Internet is responsible for the release of approximately one billion tons of greenhouse gases every single year. This is around 2% of all global CO2 emissions. And according to a study by McMaster University by 2040 ITC’s carbon emissions could account as much as 14%, which is roughly where the transportation industry is right now. Ethico is a
