Nikoleta is a multifaceted creative who comes from Athens, Greece. She is an accomplished architect, artist, and designer. Her artistic expressions are enriched by her diverse life journey through Greece, Spain, and the Netherlands. Her work ranges from solo projects to large team efforts on projects of all sizes, from crafting intricate logos to designing theatre sets, buildings, and urban plans.
As an architect she has worked on projects in more than 10 countries, including South Korea, Canada, Vietnam, Nicaragua and Malta. Her performing arts journey started with dance, where she explored contemporary, jazz and salsa styles.
Her true passion came to the forefront when she discovered the world of acting and storytelling. She has skillfully brought complex characters to life on theatre stages and in film, contributing not only as a performer but also as a set designer and storyteller. In late 2023, she made her debut as a playwright in Amsterdam with the short play "Elevator Pitch".
