about — Heliosblue graphic design

Hi, I’m Fiona, a graphic & surface designer based in Antwerp (BE). With a background in interior and product design, I understand two-dimensional design as well as how graphics live in a space. This perspective allows me to bridge the gap between the flat surface and spatial projects.

Whether I’m designing visual identities, books or patterns, my work is guided by typographic clarity, playful compositions and layered aesthetics. Alongside commissioned projects, I develop my own graphic visuals, exploring form, rhythm and symbolism, always with the same goal: to create imagery that feels authentic and visually intriguing.

Heliosblue is a name that reveals my Greek roots: Helios (Greek for sun) and the Blue of the Aegean Sea, are two elements that serve as the constant fuel for my creative existence.
