About me

Ioannis is an East Village / Hudson New York based production & set designer with over 20 years of experience.

Raised for the first years of his life on a ship with his activists parents, he acquired early on a diverse aesthetic while growing up between Singapore, Hamburg and Athens. As soon as he graduated from the American Film Institute with a Fulbright scholarship, Ioannis started working as a production designer between Los Angeles and Europe.

After several features and 800+ TV commercials, he founded in 2014 a creative agency in New York with offices also in Switzerland and Athens and started working with lifestyle, luxury and fashion brands as both a production designer and creative director, while still taking on select features and TVC projects on a freelance basis.

From Gary Oldman to Uma Thurman and Priyanka Chopra, Ioannis has had the chance to work on set with many acclaimed talents and crews.

If not on set, Ioannis spends time with local jazz musicians & artists upstate in Hudson Valley
