Born and raised in the island of Cyprus under Greek ethnicity. Lived in Chicago for 4 years completing my Bachelor’s degree. There, I gained experience working for various television stations. Later I have moved to London for my graduate studies and worked for a company that specializes in producing video for mobile distribution. My own work is likely to be in a short documentary format and I am now in the efforts of setting up a small production company.
