About

I’m Pavla, the designer behind Papeora.

I studied Computer Graphic Design and later Architecture and Urbanism, while working as a graphic designer alongside my studies. That path naturally led me into UI and UX design, and eventually into UX management.

Over time, my work shifted from drawing and designing interfaces to shaping processes, planning projects, and supporting teams – valuable work, though mostly digital.

Eventually, I missed creating something tangible.

Why paper

When my son was born, I wanted simple decorations and milestone pieces that could be made at home, used for a quick photo, and later live on a shelf or in a room – without rushing to a store or relying on screens.

I couldn’t find exactly that, so I started designing it.

What Papeora is

Papeora is a small personal project created during parental leave.

A way to stay creative, work with my hands, and design something slower and more intentional.

All templates are designed to be easy to make, tested in real life, and meant to last beyond a single moment – and, one day, to be crafted together.

Thanks for being here.
