A Graphic Designer with 9 years of experience , and a passion about design, tech, and enjoying life.

About me

To toot my own horn a little bit; I am pretty great. Calm, funny (I think) and a chill demeanour. I enjoy playing video games, baking unhealthy treats, Consuming media and singing along to my guilty pleasure songs.

Born in England but raised on the sun-soaked island of Cyprus. I attended an English/American high school that played host to many international peers. When the time came for me to fly the coop, I moved to the Netherlands to study and eventually work. Finally, my biggest passion is enjoying my time on this earth, be that cranking out cool designs or chilling on my sofa with my two cats, Smokey and Ori.
