Hello, I’m Maria Papadouli—a designer and visual anthropologist crafting immersive visual narratives at the intersection of architecture, culture, and performance. I specialize in design-led storytelling for architectural projects, exhibitions, and live events, collaborating with institutions like KW Institute for Contemporary Art and Urban Soul Project to shape spaces and experiences.
Currently pursuing three master’s degrees—Architecture, Visual Anthropology, and Greek & World Theater—I bridge design, media, and performance to tell meaningful cultural stories and empower audiences to engage with space, story, and place.
