χαρά /xaˈra/ noun, Greek — joy.
And, mostly, how I like to work.

Brand identityPackagingDigital designEnvironmental graphics

I design brand identities and the packaging they live on.

Eight years of graphic design and art direction in Athens — concept to press check. I work across identity, packaging, digital and environmental graphics, and I stay with a project until it is made: dielines, artwork, and the press check at the end.

Currently at A&M Architects, previously art director at Sleed and packaging designer at Coco-Mat. Bronze Effie, and Gold at the Interiors Awards.
