What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, allowing me to leverage my artistic vision and management skills in cultural and fashion projects.

I am a dynamic professional with a multidisciplinary background in theater, film, and cultural management. Currently pursuing a degree in Fashion Management, I aim to combine creativity with entrepreneurship. My education includes a diploma from Athens Stage Drama School, certifications in International Business Relations, and specialization in Human Resources Management.

As an Art Director and Stylist, I have successfully created and implemented dynamic visual concepts for various productions, ensuring high aesthetics and artistic quality. My experience as an Event Manager has honed my skills in conceptualizing and executing artistic and cultural events, fostering collaboration with artists and institutions to elevate the artistic prestige of each project.

Committed to continuous professional development, I am excited to leverage my interdisciplinary background and practical skills in creative and managerial roles within the fields of culture and fashion. My next goal is to obtain a bachelor's degree in photography to explore the artistic field holistically and enhance my skills for my professional path.
