In 2001, he launched Intersection Magazine in London, in partnership with the founders of Dazed&Confused and Another Magazine.

Deeply involved in action sports culture for decades, Yorgo has been the founding design director and a shareholder of blackcrowsskis since the company's inception. Under his creative direction, the brand has become one of the world's leading independent ski companies, and its 2017–18 skis range entered the permanent collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
Yorgo teaches the history and design of logotypes at Penninghen, IFM, ECAL and Sciences Po Paris, and lectures internationally on branding and visual identity. His 2018 TEDxSciencesPo talk on (re)branding remains one of the few TEDx talks dedicated entirely to logo design.
