Each semester I was happily surprised to see how the graphic design department kept growing and improving. Whether because of new teachers or upgraded equipment, either way it kept growing.

Working as: Freelance Graphic designer
Το ΕΠΚ ήταν κάτι περισσότερο από εμπειρία για μένα, ήταν ένα μάθημα ζωής. Είχα την ευκαιρία να διδαχθώ από ανθρώπους ταλαντούχους και καταξιωμένους στον χώρο της γραφιστικής τέχνης. Έλαβα γνώσεις οι Read more
οποίες συνέβαλαν στη διεύρυνση του επαγγελματικού μου ορίζοντα και των προοπτικών μου σαν άτομο, και που θα αποτελούν θεμέλιο λίθο σε όλη την επαγγελματική μου καριέρα. Αλλά πάνω από όλα, έμαθα να δουλεύω σαν επαγγελματίας, τόσο ατομικά, βασιζόμενη στις δικές μου δυνάμεις, όσο και μέσα σε σύνολο.
Το ΕΠΚ μου χάρισε αξέχαστες στιγμές, σαν φοιτήτρια και σαν άτομο.
Αυτή τη στιγμή εργάζομαι σαν freelance γραφίστρια και συνεργάζομαι με δύο αξιόλογους φωτογράφους. Επίσης, μέσα από το σχέδιο της ΑΝΑΔ, απασχολούμαι μερικώς σαν φωτογράφος και γραφίστρια σε ιδιωτική επιχείρηση. Ένα είναι το σίγουρο: χωρίς τις γνώσεις και τις δεξιότητες που απέκτησα κατά τη διάρκεια των σπουδών μου, δεν θα μπορούσα να κάνω τίποτα από τα πιο πάνω!
