Play is the Substance


I believe that play is more than just a moment of joy—it is a catalyst for creativity, innovation, and meaningful connections.

My work revolves around the philosophy that play can unlock new perspectives, solve complex problems, and create experiences that resonate on a deeper level. I am committed to exploring the balance between the tangible and the digital, always pushing the boundaries of what design and learning can achieve. In every project, my goal is to infuse play into the process, fostering environments where curiosity thrives and creativity flourishes.








Merging Play with Design and Learning

Currently, I work at the intersection of education, visual communication, and experience design.

As a graphic designer and educator, I support the marketing team of Akademeia High School by creating engaging digital and print materials, and I guide high school students toward their dream studies, using play as a central theme in the learning process. My work extends beyond traditional education; I co-develop personal projects that merge creativity with meaningful interaction through play, always aiming to inspire and innovate.








Creating Play Experiences

I work across the spectrum of concept development, experience design, visual communication, and learning strategies, using an iterative, hands-on process that spans from problem-solving and prototyping to bringing ideas to life.
 I develop innovative solutions that resonate deeply and inspire curiosity, helping brands and organizations create engaging and meaningful experiences. I offer workshops, facilitate design processes, and collaborate with teams to ensure that every project is both impactful and creatively driven.









Artistic Exploration

As an experimental creative, I am driven by curiosity and the exploration of diverse methods and tools.

I enjoy working with materials such as metal pipes to explore new forms and functions, pushing the boundaries of conventional design. My personal projects often tackle themes like 'boredom,' 'play,' and 'mask,' where I challenge perspectives through critical and speculative design.
 I continuously develop my own shapes and style in graphic design, illustration, and painting, refining my artistic voice. One of my ongoing projects, 'Hulaki,' is a narrative-driven, fantasy world filled with playful creatures. This work-in-progress comic aims to blend storytelling with unique visual elements, creating an immersive experience. My artistic endeavors allow me to experiment with new ideas and express creativity in ways that complement my professional work.
