What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities that allow me to blend creativity with strategic thinking in a collaborative environment.

I'm a passionate freelance graphic designer based in Athens, Greece, with over two decades of experience in the arts. My journey began in 1999 with graffiti, which evolved into a love for skateboard art and fine art. My design work is heavily influenced by the vibrant world of streetwear brands and the creativity found in skateboard illustrations.

In my professional career, I have created visually engaging designs for various digital media, including logos, social media graphics, and promotional materials. I pride myself on my ability to collaborate with clients to understand their vision and goals, ensuring that my designs align with their brand identity. My experience also includes managing social media posts across multiple platforms, optimizing designs for various digital channels, and staying current with industry trends.

Before fully committing to graphic design, I spent over 11 years in the banking sector, where I developed strong interpersonal skills and a deep understanding of client relationship management. This experience has enriched my approach to design, allowing me to create tailored solutions that resonate with clients and their audiences.
