Hi, I’m Elena, a Senior Art Director based in Athens, Greece, with experience in top digital and advertising agencies. I enjoy creating thoughtful visual and digital experiences and I’m always open to new challenges.
At the moment, I’m also developing my own candle brand, ooh.καίει — a personal project that brings together design, hands-on making, and brand building. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me gardening, working with clay, or staying active with running and CrossFit.
