Sophia Athas is the founder and director of creative agency, Hatrik House.
Sophia’s business started out simply as a creative outlet, where in her spare time she would hand stitch patches or sequinned script to denim jackets and jeans, promote them on Instagram and sell them at local markets all whilst studying law/media & communications at university. Fast forward to 2021 and Hatrik House has grown to become a seriously cool and successful agency bringing products to life for brands such as Sephora, Gucci and Chanel.
