Georgia brings lived experience into everything she does
She is Greek — of course she uses her hands when she talks
Georgia’s life reads like a blend of a thriller and a feel-good movie, full of near escapes, unexpected turns, and moments of awe that shaped her into the voice she is today.
She survived a flight in a 16-seater caught in a super typhoon, during a year-long journey across the world. Not long after she swam for her life after a capsizing boat in the open sea, felt the earth tremble beneath her feet, was taken by surprise by a landslide, and — unexpectedly — found herself in the home of a top general from a strict regime. She trekked through jungles, stood at the rim of Haleakalā’s crater in Hawai‘i, and found stillness on the Cook Islands and Moorea.
What she carried home were not souvenirs, but a way of living: embracing the unexpected and turning it into story. Because Georgia is an artist, a painter, and a photographer. Between brushes and lenses, she inspires organizations to see differently and build differently.
As a speaker, Georgia brings this vision to life on international stages and panels, inspiring leaders, shifting perspectives, and helping to change the world of work. From Fortune 500 companies to small foundations, she connects strategy with humanity and leaves audiences with ideas they can act on.
Georgia Kyriakopoulos is more than a speaker, advisor, or artist. She is a life designer, showing that when we redesign space, we also reshape culture and the future.
She has worked across industries and built multiple ventures of her own. She imported vintage VW buses, launched a fashion platform, and joined an automotive tech start-up. Her path led her through the travel industry, the arts and cultural sector, public institutions, and the corporate world — from museums to international boardrooms.
But her journey was never without shadows. She has walked through divorce, burnout, and bankruptcy, and continues to face a life-threatening illness. Yet even in uncertainty, she grows stronger, learning resilience not from books but from life itself.
From an early age she knew she was different. And she wanted to make that difference matter. Fifteen years ago, she stepped into the world of neurodiversity. With a passion for wellbeing and neuroscience, she shows that labels fall short and that diverse minds are what make organizations thrive.
Seeing how companies struggled with diversity and retention, she decided to start at the foundation: the workplace itself. This is where her design principle was born: Philophilic Design, design that loves you back. In 2021 she founded Studio Sense to bring that vision to life. Today, she combines art, science, and strategy to create spaces where everyone feels at home.
