Bio

Reflective of my multi-faceted educational background which includes a Diploma in Graphic Design, a Bachelors in Performing Arts, Masters in Theatre Direction, and a PhD in Communication & Media Studies, I play a hybrid role in Artbees, creating a natural synergy between Artbees’ marketing, product design and overall strategy.

Artbees is a theme development company behind the popular WordPress theme Jupiter X and a member of Envato Wall of Fame. Jupiter X has 100000+ users from around the globe.

I’m part of the MakeWordPress Marketing team and regularly collaborate on different projects within this team. I represent my company Artbees as sponsor of various WordCamps in Europe whenever possible and has talked in couple of WordCamps including WordCamp Thessaloniki 2018.

Interests

Part-time Iconographer, a former performance artist, a Starcraft pro and a passionate Lacan reader.
