My Story

Graduate of the School of Drama - Faculty of Fine Arts, in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
Specialty: Stage Lighting & Set & Costume Design.
Since 2012, during her undergraduate studies, she had been assisting theatrical student groups and her fellow students in stage lighting, costume and set design.
Furthermore, she had the good fortune of working as an assistant lighting designer on some truly inspiring projects next to many creative artists in theatres such as National Theatre of Northern Greece, Concert Hall of Thessaloniki and many others.
Her professional journey as a stage lighting, set and costume designer began in 2017 and since then she has worked on a number of solo and collaborative projects.
Additionally, she started practicing photography from 2016 after completing two workshops in the Art Di Are studio, in Thessaloniki. Moreover, she participated in three exhibitions in Blank Wall Gallery in Athens, Greece and in the International Chania Festival. She is also a winner of a competition organised by Photonexus magazine.
