Tloupas grew up in the Chevreuse Valley, in the house-studio built by his father. [9] An avid sportsman since his childhood, Yorgo says that skateboarding shaped his aesthetic sensibility and visual literacy, while snowboarding was the springboard for his entire professional career: in 1996, freshly graduated from ESAG Penninghen, he sold his final art school project, a logo and a range of snowboards, to Rossignol. [10] [11] [12]

His graphic design studio Yorgo&Co, founded in Paris in 2011, works with luxury, art, fashion, sports, media and automotive brands such as Artcurial, [13] Cartier, [14] Diptyque, [15] Hermès, [16] Hôtel de Crillon, [17] [18] Lacoste, Louis Vuitton, [14] Loro Piana, Martell, [19] [20] Omega [21] and Swatch, [22] among many others.
