Ismini is a London-based
Theatre & Production Designer.
Holding an MFA in Scenography with Distinction from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London, supported by the A. G. Leventis Foundation Scholarship and an MA in Architecture from the National Technical University of Athens, she has worked as an architect, set & costume designer, art director, and stylist in theatre, film, commercials, and fashion in London and Europe. Recent notable works include Fabulous Creatures by Collide Theatre Company, and As You Like It directed by Neil Bartlett. She has collaborated with several London theatres, including the Young Vic, JW3, Hoxton Hall, and the Arcola Theatre. Her own artistic practice explores themes of identity, gender roles, and social constructions, often getting involved in politically charged projects that aim to push conventional boundaries in the performing arts realm.
