About me
Dear Sir/Madame,
My name is Olivia Efstathiou, I am a freelance interdisciplinary designer, a
graphic design post-graduate and I have a decade of professional experience
working as an Art Director while currently obtaining my MA in Digital Arts in
the University of the Arts London.
Digital design was a natural progression in my creative career. Having worked
mainly on interactive projects, I was intrigued by how communication design
relies on foundations of cognitive psychology to produce successful and
intuitive design. Thus I decided to expand this notion by focusing on my MA
research on Sensory Stimulation and Design. The knowledge I gained while
writing it gave me a whole new perspective on the finer mechanisms that drive
the interactive experience.
2 years ago I started a fashion label, , with a fellow fashion designer,
where I am in charge of designing the patterns for silkprinting as well as for
the brand's corporate ID.
I have been able to balance my part-time studies, teaching and freelancing for
the past two years, through methodology and precise time management. I am a
great team player, having worked in a plethora of demanding positions in
various art disciplines and expressions.
My selected works, combined with a summarised bio can be found here:

Yours Sincerely
Olivia Efstathiou
