Her first professional steps in the field of decoration were taken at the Thrigos architectural firm in Athens, where she did her practical training.

She has engaged in the interior design of professional spaces, hotels, commercial stores, doctors? practices, etc. as well as residences. Since 2011 she has been collaborating with the New Acropolis Museum shop with a specially designed jewellery collection.

In 2010 she was involved in the design of the Folklore Museum of the Orfeas Club on Lefkada. This kick-started her further involvement in museum designs.

Since 2009 she has continued her postgraduate studies in the Department of Art Sciences of the University of Ioannina.
