Gio is the quintessential creative. After spending almost a decade stuck on the hamster wheel of corporate Toronto, he longed for authentic connections in the workplace, ultimately leading him to launch GIOGRAFIK - a consciously driven design studio that’s in the business of elevating businesses. Since its inception, GIOGRAFIK has allowed Gio to follow a path inspired by the spirit of collaboration and entrepreneurship. He has worked with fashion designers, international sportswear brands, Amazon (yes, that Amazon), Pride festivals, charitable initiatives and many more local outfits from his current stomping grounds of Windsor, Ontario, and beyond. Gio hasn’t stopped talking since he started, so it’s no surprise that his entire life has been leading up to the moment he decided to make Listen 2 Me - a podcast for creatives by creatives. Alongside his co-host, author Renee Meloche, he talks about the very real highs and lows of making art while staying grounded.
