About me

I am a focused and articulate audio-visual engineer always looking to evolve my technical and artistic knowledge through big or small scale projects. My passion has always been to contribute my skills in ambitius artistic projects including theatre, music and video productions. I've always been creative in many ways as I was a self-taught guitar player and I used to be very passionate about drawing since I was a kid.
I've been working from a very young age doing mostly engineering jobs through car mechanic shops and sailing yachts maintenance. As I grew older I became a sailing skipper for my summer job on my summer school breaks. This job taught me how to be always calm and focused in difficult and sometimes dangerous situations, but also gave me the skills of great client communication. My first years in university found me in the architecture industry which I found success in my studies but also with some very primitive work for outsourced clients.
After this, I found the need to explore my creatives in music as architecture was unfortunately not my choice of studies but an outcome of the Greek university system. This decision lead me to start exploring the technical aspect of productions not only in the music industry but in theatre and movies. I've been part of many projects like that but my proudest moments are the creation of two personal projects including a fifteen-minute short film and a short theatrical performance.
Working in a big company like PSAV has given me all the skills I need to be part of big AV productions but it lacks the artistic environment I need to keep me interested in my job that's why I feel now is the best time to be part of a team with members that not only have the appropriate skills but also passion and creative ideas.
