About

I’m a 25-year-old 3D artist from Nicosia, Cyprus with a strong passion for CGI and compositing that began with watching music videos featuring compelling digital effects. I love immersing myself in creative flow, working on 3D modeling, sculpting, texturing, UV mapping, and compositing to bring vivid concepts to life. My discipline and teamwork skills were honed during my military service, shaping my professional work ethic.

My creative process blends technical precision with storytelling and audience understanding, ensuring optimized projects that meet deadlines. I thrive on collaboration and continuous learning to grow within CGI and VFX, striving to leave a memorable impact through my visual designs.
