ABOUT 2OA DSGN

 

OUR PHILOSOPHY: ROOTED TO RISE

At 20A DSGN, design is more than visuals—it’s storytelling with soul. We believe every brand has a deeper truth waiting to be told. By tapping into the roots of who you are, we co-create digital spaces that feel aligned, whole, and unmistakably you. Our investment in your success is at the heart of everything we do — turning clarity into impact, and vision into lasting value.

MEET THE ✹☽ BEHIND 20A

  • The Sun behind 20A DSGN

    A culture vulture, self-proclaimed nomad, third-culture kid, and polyglot with a love for travel and putting the proverbial pen to paper.

    My path has always followed language — how it moves us, shapes identity, and creates meaning. With a foundation in international business, fluency in six languages, and over a decade in brand communications, I’ve helped global teams turn complex ideas into clear, human-centered narratives.

    Before launching 20A DSGN, I led strategy across industries — then traded corporate America for the sun-drenched streets of Athens, Greece, beginning a new chapter rooted in storytelling and creative freedom. Alongside that, I’ve written my way through the world as a travel writer for BBC Travel, AFAR, Departures, and more, always uncovering the threads that connect people and place.

    Now, through 20A DSGN, I bring together all these layers — strategic thinking, cross-cultural fluency, and a deep love of story — to help brands find their voice, build meaningful digital spaces, and create lasting connections.

  • The Moon behind 20A DSGN

    Intuitive, reflective, and drawn to create what’s unseen.

    Born of Canadian-Greek roots and shaped by a nomadic life, I’ve moved through many homes, cultures, and creative worlds. My journey began in fashion, drawn by beauty, diversity, and the ever-evolving nature of design. Over time, I’ve built a multidisciplinary path — blending digital and physical, strategy and soul.

    Before launching 20A DSGN, I spent years helping grow creative studios from the inside out — leading design, building teams, and shaping brands across industries. That chapter taught me the power of collaboration, clarity, and designing with purpose.

    At the heart of my work is honoring where we come from. The stories, symbols, and figures that shape us — they guide everything I create. With 20A DSGN, I help craft digital spaces that feel like home: rooted, intentional, and resonant.

HOW WE WORK: GUIDED BY PURPOSE, INSPIRED BY CONNECTION

At 20A DSGN, we believe in the power of inspiration and the profound connections that shape our lives. Our brand is rooted in the significance of the number 20 in numerology, symbolizing harmony, cooperation, and balance. These principles guide us in everything we do, from our designs to our relationships with customers and collaborators.

The essence of 20A DSGN is also deeply personal. It draws from the wisdom and legacy of the important figures who have influenced our journey. We celebrate individuality and the stories that connect us, channeling them into design that’s both meaningful and effective. Every project is more than creative expression; it’s a purposeful contribution to the lasting success of our clients.
