Design isn't just about how things look; it's about how they make you feel. And then there are stories – the threads that connect us all...
Stefani is a creative directress with a background in fine arts, where her exploration encompassed installation, digital and furniture design and their relationship with geopolitics and positive urbanism.
Originally from Cyprus, her upbringing and experiences have deeply influenced her approach to connecting diverse fields such as identities, cultural interactions, and beyond.
Her passion lies in creating meaningful experiences, both online and in physical spaces, that foster connections through design, brands, symbolism, perception, and identities.
Next to this, she is the co-founder and creative directress of SafeQueen, a platform dedicated to reshaping the narrative surrounding sexual harassment and assault in licensed venues across the UK.
Throughout her career, she has collaborated with esteemed organisations like TEDx, leveraging technology and event activation to craft immersive experiences.
Her goal is to continue pushing boundaries and sparking dialogue through innovative storytelling, design and brand activations.
