Olga Panagopoulou was born in Athens where she lived practising law for many years until she turned to full-time crocheting and moved to live closer to nature. Olga gets inspired by the colours, textures, materials and seasonal changes of her surroundings, which she translates into patterns. She now lives in Syros, a dreamy island in the Cyclades, with her family. She can be found online at @plextopattern.
