Bio

I am a 3D generalist and product visualizer based in Athens, Greece. I focus on photorealistic jewelry, fashion, and product visuals, with a strong background in modeling, shading, animation, lighting, simulation, rendering, and compositing.

I handle the full 3D pipeline, from project coordination and asset preparation through to final raw renders and production-ready visuals for international clients.
