Bio
As an artist by birth, I gained a deeper understanding of the IT sector when I majored in Computer Science. After graduation, I decided to merge my creative and technical skills and worked as a Digital Product Designer, serving international clients for over five years. Even during the pandemic, I continued to pursue my passion for art and completed a master’s degree in Digital Design in the Netherlands, which allowed me to expand my skill set and break through any creative barriers.
Following the completion of my studies, I returned to Greece and joined the armed forces, where I was assigned to the Hellenic Navy’s Cyber Security Department. My combination of technical expertise and military discipline enabled me to work efficiently under pressure and successfully overcome complex challenges.I’m now ready for my next challenge, armed with years of professional and academic experience in Digital Design, as well as a strong sense of teamwork and adaptability to various environments.
