What I'm looking for

I'm based in Southampton and open to roles in Winchester, London, or hybrid and remote positions.

In my current freelance work across the UK and Greece, I produce architectural drawings, spatial layouts, and 3D models for residential and small-scale projects. I manage design decisions, technical documentation, and visual presentation throughout the design process.

At Makridis & Associates, I assisted with architectural project design and development through sketches, drawings, and 3D models. I also prepared technical documentation and participated in site visits.

At Vrantsi Architects, I contributed to design concepts and produced architectural designs, technical drawings, and construction documentation. I collaborated with engineers, contractors, and project consultants on design coordination.

My academic work includes “Bridging Ages: The Kindergarten that Promotes Intergenerational Education” and “Archinature: Biomimicry in Architecture.” I hold an Integrated MEng-equivalent Diploma in Architecture from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and am a licensed architect in Greece.
