Prior to freelancing, I most recently worked in-house as a Creative Lead at HubbleHQ.

CREATIVE LEAD
Since Oct 2018, I had been building and leading the creative department at HubbleHQ.
I was hired initially as a Digital Art Director where I helped the team to launch their first-ever OOH campaign. The success of the campaign and the high demand for finding an office pushed us to rebrand the company and come up with a meaningful visual language representing our values. We built a team of freelance copywriters, UX copywriters, graphic designers, and editors. A data-driven environment where I had to collaborate closely with the tech team to improve the product, to design, produce and launch off-line and on-line ads, to storyboards.

While I was in Greece, a client approached me to collaborate on his new initiative in the field of tennis. A new form of tennis tournaments that everybody wins in a weekend. Also, the tournaments would be recorded so the players have the chance to improve their game.

Vasiliki [ say it with me: vas • ill • eek • key ] as a creative she switches between copy and art, depending on how dominant her creative partner is. Her favorite word is "premises", and she thinks that she doesn't use enough the word "although". She doesn't have any awards yet, so she invented one. She went viral by launching the LionArse Award. She likes puns and clean design. She loves animals - extinct and living species - and salty food. Vasiliki means royal in Greek.
