About 

I am an architect from Larnaca with more than fourteen years of experience; ten years of experience in different architectural firms and companies in Cyprus and four years of experience in the retail sector of one of the most prestigious companies in the UK. 

During my work in the architectural offices in Cyprus, I had the chance to receive in-depth knowledge and exposure to several projects of different types and scales. I had extensive involvement in all the design stages, concept design, schematic design, and detailed design for residential, commercial, landscape, and urban planning projects, both in the public and private sectors. Furthermore, I had the responsibility of managing and supervising several construction sites and in general to ensure the efficient operation of the office. 

In my role as a Project Architect in Building Design Partnership in London,  I worked on various retail projects around the world. Part of my role involved design development by using CAD and BIM technology and the monitoring, guidance, and supervision of a group of different disciplines for the production of different design packages. In addition, my role involved traveling overseas, attending meetings with the clients, and liaising with the local architects to integrate local legislation and practices into the project
