Where do you live?
I live in Nicosia with my son and our cat.

What did you have for breakfast?
Cereal with yogurt and coffee, something simple to start the day.

Describe your perfect day
A slow, creative morning in my floral studio, time spent with my son, a beautiful meal with friends and live music in the evening.

Best book ever read
Just Kids by Patti Smith. It is honest, poetic and deeply inspiring. A beautiful story about art, friendship and becoming.

Best childhood memory
Listening to vinyl records with my dad.

What is always in your fridge?
Hot sauce, always.

What music are you listening to in the car at the moment?
Mostly synth pop and darkwave. I curate my own playlists and love atmospheric music that turns even a short drive into a mood.

What is your spirit animal and why?
Probably a cat, independent, observant and always a little mysterious.

What are you most proud of?
My son, always.

What movie scene has really stayed with you?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind has stayed with me for years. The way it explores memory and love feels deeply human and hauntingly beautiful.

If you could pick anyone at all alive or dead to go out for the evening with, who would it be?
I would choose to spend an evening with Michael Craig-Martin and Miki Berenyi. Michael for his sharp, playful conceptual mind and Miki for her dreamy, emotionally rich musical perspective. I imagine the night would feel incredibly creative and inspiring.

If you could time travel when and where would you go?
I would travel to the late 60s and find myself somewhere between an underground art opening and the crowds at Woodstock, that moment when music, art and counterculture were all colliding.

What is your greatest fear?
Losing both my sight and hearing.

What would you say to your 18-year-old self?
Trust your instincts earlier and take more chances.

Name the one thing that would stop you dating someone
Emotional unavailability

If the world is ending in 24 hours, what would you do?
Be with my loved ones, play my favourite music and soak in every moment.
