Illustrated prints are depictions of my personal perspective of the world and my surroundings. They are printed in multiple copies and on various kinds of items (paper goods or apparel). I believe in slow and ethical design. Therefore when it comes to my printed products I try to collaborate with small local or fair trade companies and to use eco-friendly, high quality materials.
My prints can be found in my e-shop. You can also find them in carefully selected stores around Greece along with other Greek designer products.
I have been painting since childhood, it is the way I love to express my feelings. I have a background in design and already during my studies I had the dream to open a little shop on an island to sell my creations.

I always start with paper and pencil but I also use digital media for implementing my illustrations. Traveling around the world and making excursions in nature makes me happy. It is there where I have found a great part of the themes I choose to design.
The art of ancient civilizations and folk art deeply affect the way I am drawing. There are elements of ancient art and folk narratives, which are reinterpreted or reassembled in my work in my own visual language. I would like my products to be carriers of happy memories, that may help a smile to return in difficult times.
