Influenced by my Greek heritage and fuelled by a passion for mathematics and craftsmanship, I make vibrant yet minimal contemporary textiles.

My work is an exploration of architecture, building structures, weaving traditions, natural landscapes, and storytelling with a distinct focus on deconstructing and redefining traditional weaving methods.

My approach to design is based on the idea of creating beautiful textiles through 'zero waste' design and slow-making craftsmanship. High-quality and sustainable natural fibers are key to the philosophy of my work, in which the aspiration for textile longevity through simplicity and sensibility is essential.

Weaving is my way of putting the everyday chaos in order and making something honest and beautiful out of it.

I strongly believe that the importance of weaving must be highlighted; fabrics reside in the everyday and inhabit almost every corner of a household; they create a boundary between us and nature, the culture of the body and the external world. They contribute in creating a sense of something familiar and beloved. The determinant role textiles play in our life, the power of colour, or the lack thereof, the achievement of high aesthetics through simplicity and the use of sustainable materials, are my sources of inspiration and motivation. This is reflected in my work and the use of natural shades, highlighted by creating different textures through different weave structures and yarn thicknesses.
