About 

In June 2022, I graduated UCLA’s Master of Science in Architecture and Urban Design, Studio Technology, where I explored new and efficient methods in design and visualization, as well as innovative technologies in design like machine learning. 

Since July of 2022 I have been working as a Junior Designer, at Berliner Architects, in Culver City, Los Angeles. 

Before moving to the US, I received my five-year Architectural Engineering Diploma from Democritus University of Thrace, Greece. After that, in July 2019 I started working as an Architect Designer at VIO.DO.MI. Construction in Greece.
