Growing up and studying in the south-west of Germany as the child of a first-generation Greek immigrant and a German mother, I've lived the complexities of 'multi-nationality' firsthand. This unique blend meant feeling neither fully connected to my parents' country nor entirely integrated into the one where I grew up—I've often embraced the term 'third culture kid.' However, this diverse lens has allowed me to see the world through multiple perspectives.

I'm Kate KAGIOGLIDIS, a passionate Creative currently diving deep into the captivating realm of Data Design at Elisava in Barcelona. My mission is to explore the potent fusion of data and creativity.

My heart truly lies in diving into various projects, unraveling connections that resonate deeply with people. My canvas spans graphic design, social media, illustration, and photography, weaving stories that offer fresh viewpoints on our world.

Beyond my academic pursuits, my soul resonates with inclusivity. Rooted in personal experiences, I am committed to supporting individuals with disabilities and those from migration backgrounds. Through my creative endeavors, I strive to raise awareness and nurture understanding.

My unwavering passion for design and an insatiable curiosity for diverse viewpoints drive me. I envision a world where design becomes a conduit, bridging stories, unraveling societal complexities, and igniting meaningful change.

Join me on this journey of exploration and creativity, where design meets storytelling, and together, we forge a path toward a more inclusive and understanding world.
