about.
Andriana is a visual communication designer and researcher working with photography, documentary practices, and writing. Her work explores the politics of visibility and cultural memory, informed by studies in political science, gender, and folklore. With a background in fashion design and current MA research in Peace, Conflict and Democracy, she brings a strong visual and critical sensibility to marginalised narratives.
Her main disciplines are photography, ethics, education, social design, speculative design,writing and theory. In her professional life she works as a Designer, Researcher, Creative Director and Cultural Producer. In her work Andriana unpacks difficult questions to design inclusive systems for sidelined people to unlearn their shame and build frameworks for the future that they want to be a part of. Her studies in fashion design urged her to question the biases that we conform to when performing our gendered identities. She has ever since searched for liberation from binary ways of thinking and surrender to the truths of our ecosystem.
She is a founding member of faculty at Freedom and Balance, an art college for the artist in everyone, taught at London College of Fashion, was a Lead Mentor for Not a School; an alternative education program at the intersection of ethics and technology by Samsung UK. She also worked as a designer at Comuzi Studio in London designing methodologies for healthcare funders to address the systemic bias in their funding processes.
