Anna Goutzouri

Anna Gkoutzouri grew up in Komotini but has been living and working in Thessaloniki, the city of her birth, in recent years. She holds a degree from the Department of Civil Infrastructure Engineering at the School of Technological Applications in Thessaloniki and is a graduate of the Department of Architecture at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (A.U.Th.). Since 2010, she has been working as an architect at "a plus a architects" and is a co-creator of "3OIAdesign," a design studio focused on designing and producing functional objects, souvenirs, and accessories inspired by Greek culture and tradition. However, as inspiration can be found everywhere and creativity lies in the simplest things, she began writing and illustrating children's books. Her passion is designing books with movable parts (pop-up) and interactive illustrations that enhance imagination and dialogue with the child.
