Extended Interview with Panos Tsakiris

Could you please tell us about your experience as a designer, artist, architect or creator?
I have an MSc in Product & Systems Design Engineering (University of the Aegean) and an MA in Design Innovation (Loughborough University).
How did you become a designer?
I have always been fascinated by the idea of creating beautiful solutions.
What are your priorities, technique and style when designing?
My second other option would be to become an architect. After 12 years in the design industry I have not regretted it once.
Which emotions do you feel when designing?
My niche is packaging design and brand identities overall. My soft spot is the intersection of product design and graphic design which for me is packaging design.
What particular aspects of your background shaped you as a designer?
We designers tend to suffer from imposter syndrome and doubt ourselves. We shouldn't. The solution is implementation and iteration.
What is your growth path? What are your future plans? What is your dream design project?
I would say consistency. However a good design (not designer) is only a viable, sustainable solution that answers to all of the problems, guidelines and constraints. A great design is a beautiful solution - object of desire or a service synonymous to the brand that represents- that moves people and them passionate about a better world.
You are truly successful as a designer, what do you suggest to fellow designers, artists and architects?
Research shows that design-driven companies have the best roi in comparison to any other aspect. Design is the core of anything. It is the actual answer to the market problem the company is trying to solve.
What is your day to day look like?
I would try to crack the code of what is bothering my 3-week old daughter when she is crying.
How do you keep up with latest design trends? To what extent do design trends matter?
That's a secret project that I would eventually bring to life, so I can't reveal.
How do you decide if your design is ready?
Steve Jobs. Brian Collins. Philippe Starck. Daniel Arsham. And many many design agencies like Porto Rocha.
What is your biggest design work?
Sundance Film Festival 2023 by Porto Rocha. Dropbox rebranding & San Fransisco Symphony by Collins. Harmonian packaging by mousegraphics. Everything by Commission Studio.
Would you tell us a bit about your lifestyle and culture?
Stay curious. Ask questions. Try to study and learn more. I still know very little about design...
What are your philanthropic contributions to society as a designer, artist and architect?
Design is finding a solution to a problem. Great design is the never-ending process of delaying the entropy of a system while stimulating the senses of its users.
