She was born in 1973 in Athens, where she lives and works. She studied Graphic Design at AKTO, just before the advent of technology in graphic design.

 

She has attended various seminars on crafts, jewelry, macramé, etc. Creating was an outlet.... she felt Happy in a Dark world. Thus, the name Happy Dark was something that came naturally through creation.

 

Influenced by Graphic Design, the designs on objects and jewelry are mainly Geometric and Minimal.

 

Macramé has been a love since childhood. 3D printing entered her life just before the pandemic. In jewelry, she mainly wants to combine 3D printing with Macramé, thus combining technology with tradition.
