My name is Yiorgos Yiacos, a.k.a. TwelveTimesTwo. I am a multi-disciplinary creative from Athens, living and working in beautiful Berlin. I do art direction, graphic design, illustration and make display typefaces. I have experience in all aspects of branding, packaging, editorial design and in both digital and print.
I studied visual communication at the UCA (University for the Creative Arts) in the UK and have been working professionally since I graduated. During that time I co-founded and worked at two creative studios in Athens (the Poor Designers and the Comeback Studio), worked in advertising and as a freelancer, did work for a multitude of "small" and "big" clients, both local and international.
If you're interested in a collaborative project or have a freelance opportunity I'm always happy to talk.
