I am a freelance illustrator and designer, currently residing in Gothenburg, Sweden, capital of Swedish Death Metal. I was born in 1985 in Sweden and raised in Greece on a steady diet of horror movies, literature and comics. I got into illustration in late 2002 and began freelancing in earnest in 2005. I am completely self-taught. My work has graced the covers and interiors of roleplaying games, novels and DVDs. I have a certain weakness for the genre of horror. Among my most visible work are the cover for rpg supplement ''Don't Lose Your Mind'' for Evil Hat Games, design and illustrations for Neoplastic Press (Spite, Dread, Wake) and the cover for Jonathan Walton's Geiger Counter.

Reading and writing has been a part of my life since I can remember (though in the very early days, I was being read to, of course). More recently, I've been reading and writing as part of my graduate program in Health Communication, I've started taking pictures as I travel, and made flyers for friends' businesses when asked. No project is too big or small--feel free to ask and I can take a look.
