📝 ABOUT

Taking my first steps into the world of sketching and comics, I gained a lot of experience over the years on how to represent the still image properly. But my interest was attracted by animation, where a fascinating world of creativity and aesthetics unfolded.

My first completed animation attempt was awarded by Olympia International Film Festival in 2004 as the best animated short film. In 2009 I was also nominated for Digital Alexander and awarded the 2nd DigidalWave prize at Thessaloniki International Film Festival for my short film The Box. But the trophies are not the goal and the journey of learning new techniques and constantly evolving is much more exciting. So after I graduate from animation school in 2010 I worked professionally on many projects, which made me a more experienced and efficient creator.

To this day, my passion for everything that moves through a combination of filmmaking techniques and computer graphics is something that defines me in quality, and aesthetics, serving the client, trying always to overdeliver.
