Hi! I’m an undergraduate student at Technological Educational Institute of Athens, Greece in the Graphic Design department. As a student, i have changed my mind a lot of times and I don’t know which path I’ll take in visual arts. I am very passionate about almost everything! I love books and editorial design as much as I love photography, especially the analog mode. In the near future I would like to be a cultural explorer, so I could have the opportunity to encapsulate unusual beauty in my photographs. I am getting inspired by the world of the visual arts in all their forms. Things as handmade paper and silkscreen fascinates me. I have taken place in a lot of workshops in the past, such as “Image and Sound” workshop by Makino Takashi at In Mute festival in Athens, Block Printing, Zine Making and Digital Storytelling. As a person, I am very optimistic, active and open-minded. I think teamwork is very effective and reasonable, that ‘s why I love to collaborate with other persons.
