ABOUT

Born in Bucharest, Romania, at the age of 17 I moved to Athens, Greece with my family. After I graduated from the Bucharest Music Academy, I was a member of the symphonic orchestras of Athens, Larissa and Volos from 1999 to 2000. I then relocated to Sousse, Tunisia where I taught classical music as a university assistant tutor for 6 years. Returning to Athens, I decided to change my profession.

What could it be?
  something creative, future oriented and implying computer programming.
It was the most simple and easy decision to make: web and graphic design.
I created the first website in 2007.

As web and graphic designer - I develop my creativity continuously and I search for unique expressions in my works.

As front-end developer - HTML/CSS custom codes and PHP/JS functions or Wordpress websites (with or without WooCommerce) - I create websites using my skills of UI/UX, SEO and marketing, acquired through courses and specializations.

CREATIVE PLAYGROUND

I like to look at the starry sky, leaving the soul and thoughts free through the universe.
Sometimes I compose music, I draw, I write from time to time and when I walk I take photos.
