I am Central St. Martin's Communication design graduate in Athens, co-founder of awarded agencies: Sputnik Design Team and Linakis.digital. As a design practitioner for longer than I care to remember, I am considered something of a veteran, which is both a blessing and a curse. On the blessing side, I get to speak at conferences, tutor workshops and write about design. On the curse side, people come to me for advice.

- Rem we met ember how, dear?To promote the film “Armchair on the pavement” which documents a couple’s battle with dementia, we depicted the broken communication between the couple. We printed wife Olga's bittersweet question to her husband: “Remember how we met, dear?” across four posters, cut them up and mixed them around, so that they don’t make sense. Made for the film premiere at DISFF Drama International Short Film Festival.
- 3+24+157 Cooking mashups"Cooking mashups" is an unconventional recipe-less recipe book by Corfu chef Giorgos Gerekos.

On average it shrinks sagas like Homer’s Odyssey from around 120,000 to under 100 words. Greek writer and poet Mary Kolonia, owner of luxury literary retreat Villa Terra Creta, Greece
- Jekyll and HydeOne bottle, two personalities. “Jekyll and Hyde” is a mixed-variety red wine, an eccentric blend of contradictory flavours and aromas by Tetramythos wines in the Peloponnese. To communicate the wine’s inherent schizophrenia, we named it after R. L. Stevenson’s novel: “The Strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, which documents the inner struggle between the good doctor and his murderous twin self. The packaging features two opposite labels on either side of the bottle. On the front is good D

The book is designed to be played, rather than read, featuring a collection of ingredients, one on every page. Readers are encouraged to blindly shuffle through the pages, pick random page combinations, cook the ingredients, and document intriguing recipes: 3+24+157. "Cooking mashups" is de
