Spiridon Giannakis
Spiridon Giannakis has been working in print media since 2006. After working as a designer for a local publisher and a short detour in illustration, he started working as a freelance graphic designer in 2013. Starting in 2017 with Even Mehl Amundsen’s TEGN he focused on creating artbooks, combining his skills with his passion for art. Since then he also helped other artists, like Abigail Larson, Björn Hurri, Bastien Deharme, and many more, to publish their work by designing their artbooks and managing the crowdfunding campaigns. Aside from these collaborations, he is also designing books for clients like Éditions Caurette (Kim Jung Gi, Katsuya Terada, Jesper Ejsing), WeAreFuzzy (Sleep Tight), and other independent studios.
Intensive networking and his love for community-related projects resulted in the launch of Firestarter in 2017, an internationally distributed magazine.
