︎
I’m an all-round creative & designer based (mostly) in Amsterdam.
I like coming up with the way brands think, look & tell their stories.

My hope is that by having a bit of a hybrid role with one foot in branding, the other in creative direction, and an elbow in graphic design, I can at least connect those disciplines and make some cool stuff in the process.

I also work in a creative duo with writer Rowan —we call ourselves rorojojo.


(1992︎2010)
Born & raised in Athens, Greece.
(2010︎2015)
Studied in the UK, at the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh College of Art.
(2015︎2019)
Moved to Amsterdam with 2 backpacks to find work. Found some & stayed.



I live a second life as a traveller with a passion for analogue photography.
I also live a third one as a wannabe triathlete.

“Our play becomes a party;
our party, work;
and our work —play.”


— johannes itten; bauhaus; 1919 —

My approach is holistic, allowing all aspects of my life to inspire me and consequently influence my work. I’ve hence discovered that the more I expose myself to a variety of experiences, the better my work has become. 

︎ Is it possible to be a true hybrid in a world where focus and specialisation is more important than ever? 

︎ Can my work become a celebration of exploration; my play a party of sharing new ideas, and ultimately my work turn into play?

Let's find out, shall we? ;)
