About

“I learned automotive design from the underside of a car. Everything since has been building on that.”

That began with restoring classic cars in Nicosia, Cyprus, between 2015 and 2020 — working from the underside up, long before any of it had a name like “design.”

I’m an automotive and transport designer driven by a passion for shaping future mobility — turning bold ideas into meaningful, real-world experiences. I hold a First Class Honours degree in Automotive and Transport Design from Coventry University and a Master’s in Intelligent Mobility from the Royal College of Art, and I’m currently the exterior designer at MicroMegas, working on a next-generation off-road recreational vehicle.

Past collaborations include Volkswagen Group’s Future Center Europe and TVS Motor Company, and I was a finalist in the 2024 Polestar Design Contest. Alongside the digital process, I work hands-on — 3D printing, clay modelling, and Gravity Sketch VR — because a surface decision isn’t really tested until it exists in the room with you.

“I design because I believe cars are one of the last objects we still have an emotional connection with. I want to make that relationship last longer, feel deeper, and mean more.”
