With a name like Niko Coutroulis, you might think owning a diner would’ve been the natural career path. Sure, I’ve thought about it, and I think it’s actually a birth-right, but as much as I love souvlaki and baklava, advertising and creative is what I truly enjoy...and a good Greek omelette!
Photography is also something I’m very passionate about.
Food and wine...What can I say, I love both. Cooking is just another creative outlet for me, and even though I’m not doing it in a diner, I can still make an awesome souvlaki.
And traveling is something I could do forever.
If I could, I’d live out of a suitcase.
Specialties:A great creative thinker. Strong production background.
And the ability to tame any client :-)
