I’m Efi Kyriazidis, the founder and soap maker behind Greek Girl Artisan Soap. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the creative process. Whether it was drawing, painting (on walls, to my family’s dismay), graphic design, or photography, creativity has always been a part of who I am. My latest passion, soap making, feels like a natural addition to that list. What made me fall in love with it is the way it brings together art and chemistry in such a beautiful, fun, and creative way.

There are so many dimensions to this craft. From the endless combinations of high-quality oils and ingredients, to the enticing scents that can be blended, to the vibrant colors and designs that bring each bar to life. Handmade soap engages almost all of our senses. It’s visually striking, smells wonderful, and offers a tactile experience that feels luxurious as it lathers and bubbles in your hands. My goal is to create consumable pieces of art that not only add beauty to your daily routine, but also bring a sense of indulgence and care.

A little bit about me: I’ve always been guided by curiosity and a passion for understanding how things work. That curiosity fuels my love for art, soapmaking, and hands-on projects like DIY home renovations. I also enjoy exploring the world through travel, experiencing different cultures, and finding inspiration in architecture and design. In my free time, you’ll find me cooking, gardening, enjoying live music, or spending time in nature. I deeply value connection, whether it’s through meaningful moments with my family and friends or by working with youth in my community.

To all of you who are just discovering Greek Girl or have been supporting me from the beginning, thank you. Your encouragement means everything.

Love & αγάπη,

Efi
