About

Originally from Greece, I studied theatre set and costume design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lecce, Italy. In 2004, I began my professional career in Greece and undertook projects on independent basis for a wide variety of film, theatre and tv productions including the CL Film Productions, the Stefi Productions, the Net tv, Antenna tv as well as the Athens Olympic Games.

In 2015 I re-located to London and restarted my career working in a range of roles in the art department including collaborations with the National Theatre of Greece and the Barbican Theatre.

I was costume designer on two independent feature films White Chamber directed by P. Raschid for Aviary Films which screened at the Edinburgh international film festival and My Friend the Polish Girl directed by Ewa and Mateusz Dymek for Warsaw productions screened at the Rotterdam international film festival. Production designer for a selection of shorts films entitled In the Name of the Sparrow directed by K. Papavasileiou which screened at the Cannes international film festival and Landscape Depressions directed by Janis Rafailidou for the Art for the World organisation soon to be screened at the EYE filmuseum in Amsterdam.

My experience in a wide variety of projects in different roles within the art and costume departments, concept artist for Beauty and the Beast, a pilot immersive theatre project for Disney, costume assistant for Identical, at the Nottingham Playhouse theatre, set decorator for a Place Called Home by Steficon Productions, has provided me with a versatile skillset and a wealth of both practical and conceptual knowledge.

In 2017 I took a career break to raise my family. During this time, I kept training in various software and developing 3D modelling, rendering and illustration skills and created a portfolio of digital concept art showcasing environments modelled in 3D and rendered in vRay and Photoshop.

My future ambition is to work in the art department as a set designer, art director or concept artist.
