Stav is an Athenian born and bred who feels awkward writing bios, both in the first and the third person, but you know how it goes.

She studied Philosophy, Pedagogy, and Psychology (University of Athens), Greek and European Poetry (Sinopoulos Foundation), Brand Identity & Strategy (IE Business School, Copenhagen Business School), Scriptwriting (IANOS, Ethnofest). She keeps learning all kind of things that might inform her view on her work and life.

Having worked with words her entire life—as a teacher, editor, editor-in-chief, cultural curator, copywriter, and strategist—she is now the founder of ITCH storytelling studio and a lecturer in Strategy & Storytelling at AKTO Art & Design College. All this, while stubbornly trying to actively be an author and screenwriter.

Her writing has been published in Greece and abroad, in print and online. Films she has worked on have been showcased and awarded at local and international film festivals. Advertising/branding projects she has worked on also have received many shiny industry awards.

Her book, And What Will People Say? (Kappa Publishing, 2023), was shortlisted for the Newcomer in Poetry award by Anagnostis magazine and received the State Literary Award for Debut Author (2024).
