About 

Having been born, raised, and educated in New York, I spent the past 20 years as an architect in Athens, Greece with much experience in interior design /architecture and general design management (contract documentation, building department docs, follow ups, on-site inspections, etc.). Currently I've relocated back to NY.  As a partner in a design firm for over 10 years, our works  ranged from residential, corporate, institutional and mixed-use. I am a graduate of Pratt Institute (B.Arch), and completed a masters program at Columbia University (M.Arch and Urban Design).
