My main passion and what I want to dedicate my life to is product design. Because of various university projects, I have had the opportunity to design products of which I am very proud. Through the design process and in the end result, I have discovered many different facets of my own self. I also consider travel a passion. Travel is a source of inspiration for my designs and it also has helped shape my character. I am currently enjoying my years as a student at the University of the Aegean which has provided me with many opportunities to explore my interests.

Three years ago I had a very basic knowledge of TEDx which consisted mainly of watching TEDtalks and TEDxtalks on the YouTube channel. The first year I attended the University of the Aegean in Syros, was also the first time that TEDxUniversityoftheAegean took place. That year I participated as a volunteer. Because of my passion and love for the event, the next year I was offered a position as co-organizer. Of course I accepted immediately. I was thrilled to be part of this event and hope that I can continue to play a major role as long as I am at the university.
