Interview with Zoi Roupakia |
Home > Designer Interviews > Zoi Roupakia |
Editor Frank Scott (FS) from DesignPRWire has interviewed designer Zoi Roupakia (ZR) for A’ Design Award and Competition. You can access the full profile of Zoi Roupakia by clicking here.
FS: Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
ZR: I studied electrical and computer engineering in Thessaloniki and moved to Cambridge for postgraduate studies and research in speech recognition, with a short intermitted period in London where I did a research internship at Google. So my background is entirely technical. However, since my early years in the university, I developed a love and interest in photography and subsequently the recent years I moved from photography to drawing and minimal art. Later, I decided to move into 3D-printed wearable art, jewellery inspired by my minimal artworks.
FS: Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?
ZR: Inspiration is triggered by everything in my life, my experiences, the things I read, and feel and think, from discussions with friends to news, cultural explorations, or social and political matters. I want to create pieces that have some meaning when people wear them, that carry meaningful symbols.
FS: Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to interview you.
