Hi, I'm Anthony Cleovoulou.
(I hope it's safe to say that if you're reading this you probably want to know more about me, so excuse me if it's a bit much)
I am a graphic designer based in London who's studied at the University of Portsmouth (2021-2024) and throughout that time I have been able to develop and learn skills in both design and design thinking. For as long as I've known, I have wanted to be a designer, I just never knew what type of design to go into. I remember starting off at about 5 years old, inventing new types of household products, leading to my love of product design which I went on to excel in through my GCSEs and A levels. However, I decided to steer away from this area of design and onto the road of graphic design, where I can truly be free with my experiments and design with the bigger picture in mind. Even though I chose to change my study route, I continue to design & create with the mindset and skills of a graphic designer, product designer and illustrator.
During my time at university I've been able to learn about what makes graphic design so important in this world. Not just being able to communicate ideas but personality and ethics too. My favourite area of design has to be branding & creating guidelines as there's something so satisfying about having a complete set of rules and content which are fluid and easy to follow, making up a singular identity. I also love a good bit of minimalist and bauhaus inspired design due to its simplicity and cleanliness which is evidenced in a range of my work displayed on this site.
Design aside, I love going travelling and staying fit in both the gym and the kitchen, training when I can and learning a new meal to cook every few weeks, even while being a student. This has been a huge part of my life as it has taught me a discipline like no other and a work ethic which I implement into all parts of my day-to-day experiences. Over the last few years I've also had a lot of time to work on my confidence and vocal skills, which have definitely helped bring me out into the world to share my passion & ideas with others which, let's face it, helps a hell of a lot in this area of work.
