Available to hire
Hi, I’m Katerina. I’m a multidisciplinary designer who loves storytelling through fashion, textiles, and art. I enjoy turning dead stock into meaningful products, creating moodboards and color palettes, and solving problems with a sustainable mindset.
I studied Fine Arts in Thessaloniki and Antwerp, and I bring hands-on craft, technical drawings, and strong digital skills (Adobe Suite) to every project. Outside of work, I love sailing, cinema, yoga, painting, music, and books, and these hobbies fuel my creativity and brand storytelling.
