Hey I’m Xanthe and...
I might still be a mermaid.


Growing up, I was convinced of it. Tea parties underwater, imaginary worlds, The Little Mermaid memorized word for word. I’ve always lived somewhere between reality and something else entirely. That instinct, to imagine, to blur edges, never left.

I’m drawn to the in-between: where ideas overlap, where something can be felt before it’s fully defined. That’s where I build, intuitive but precise, shaping emotion into intention, and giving imagination a structure it can breathe in.

Raised in Australia and shaped by time across the U.S., London, Italy, and Greece, I bring a global perspective rooted in observation, how people move, connect, and experience the world differently. My practice lives at the intersection of creativity, culture, and perception, where those boundaries dissolve into something new.

I think of my work as the XK Network, a living system of connections where each project is a point of intersection. Whether building a brand, shaping an experience, or directing a visual story, I approach design as both intuitive and strategic, creating work that feels immediate, thoughtful, and lasting.


Let’s meet between worlds!
