Hi, I'm Athena Tacet, a French-Cypriot digital illustrator working with clients worldwide. I make vector illustrations about women, places, and the vibrant interplay of being between cultures.
My work is shaped by a life lived between Paris, Montreal, and my Mediterranean roots in Cyprus and Greece. I grew up with vibrant bougainvillea pinks blazing against stark white architecture, where the Aegean Sea carves geometric lines into the horizon — a visual clarity that still defines my aesthetic today.
A decade as a journalist reporting for Al Jazeera and The Economist took me to Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan. It was there that I found an unexpected kinship between my Mediterranean roots and East Asian aesthetics — both share the same visual language: restraint, elegance, and the sense that what you leave out matters as much as what you put in.
I'm fluent in English, French, and Greek, with conversational Italian, Spanish, and Levantine Arabic, bringing an understanding of the visual codes and storytelling traditions that make a design resonate authentically across different markets.
