My name is Demetra Hadjiyiangou
I am a Designer and creativity junkie.
I graduated on May 2015 with a Bachelor's Degree in Architecture and a Diploma in Architectural Engineering from the University of Cyprus. During my studies, I participated in Erasmus exchange students program at Instituto Superior Tecnico in Lisbon during the Fall semester 2013.
On September 2017, I completed a Master's degree on Architectural design with a specialization on Stage and Costume design from Vakalo Art and Design College in Athens. After completing my studies I've worked at several design firms in London and Athens.
Since May 2019, I am working as a freelancer Architect and Designer, with works in Architecture, Interior and Digital design. Being a huge design lover, I'm always into experimenting with multiple forms of design.
On June 2022, I completed a one year course on Digital Design and Web Programming, in Akto College and currently completing Google UX Design Professional Certificate
