I moved abroad and fully winged it.
Packed up my whole life, moved to a new country, and convinced myself I knew exactly what I was doing. I did not. Ten out of ten, would leap again.
an extroverted introvert, powered entirely by coffee.
A disciplined empath and anxiety-powered perfectionist who somehow gets things done. Mug collector, chronic overthinker and dry-humour enthusiast with a coffee always in hand.
Now the formal introductions are out of the way… here’s the slightly more accurate version.
People usually assume I’m always bubbly and energetic, they rarely see the quiet recharge afterwards. Good conversations light me up. Noise without purpose drains me surprisingly fast.
I’m endlessly curious. I love learning things that have absolutely nothing to do with each other, making things simply because I have an idea, and losing entire evenings to conversations that leave me thinking long after they’ve ended. Beautiful design, ambitious people and creative rabbit holes are my favourite places to get lost.
Which is probably why this page exists. Not because LinkedIn was missing anything—but because I wanted one little corner of the internet that felt lighter, a bit more playful, and a little closer to how I actually am.
enough soul-searching — here’s the fast version.
tap the dice — I’ll confess something.
swipe → they’re all a little embarrassing
tap to see which side I land on.
(don’t worry, no wrong answers)
the tiny details usually say the most.
A grumpy Bubbles, Powerpuff Girls.
An overpriced pastry with my coffee. Priorities.
A wooden chalet in the Swiss Alps, hot tub included.
My coffee machine. Reliable, dramatic, essential.
That I have a twin brother.
Gyros wrap. National duty, really. 🇬🇷
Job titles change. The way you approach problems doesn’t.
A list of skills never really tells you what someone’s like to work with. So here’s the honest version instead — a few notes on how my brain tends to move through a problem, a project, and the people around it.
The messier the problem, the more curious I become. I love finding the one thread that suddenly makes everything click.
My first answer is rarely my final one. I’d rather ask one more question than settle too quickly.
I’d rather admit I don’t know something than pretend I do. Learning has never frightened me nearly as much as staying the same.
Some of my favourite ideas started with someone challenging my thinking. The best conversations usually leave me with a different opinion than the one I walked in with.
There’s something incredibly satisfying about explaining a difficult idea so clearly that it suddenly feels obvious.
If something can work well and look beautiful, I’ll almost always spend the extra five minutes.
I notice the tiny things most people walk past — without ever losing sight of why they mattered in the first place.
None of this is meant to impress you. It’s just how I’m wired. Turns out there’s a reason this website has so many coffee references.

personality is just as memorable as a good résumé.
Hopefully this felt less like reading a website and more like having a really good coffee together.
