Profile

Pi6 is an Athens based communication design agency, founded in 2004 by Rena Chrysikopoulou and Michael David Ochs, two ardent design visionaries. Coming from a multicultural background, our team is fully perceptive of the cultural differences in communication and the sociocultural responsibility of design. We work collaboratively with experts in Greece and Germany developing useful, compelling and engaging experiences across all design disciplines, helping our clients reach different segment markets both in Greece and abroad. Our services range from traditional graphic design disciplines such as editorial design, book design, poster design, corporate design, branding, packaging design, exhibition design, wayfinding and signage design, website and multimedia design to customized design consultation. We believe that great design is not just about communicating a message. It is about exploration and careful analysis of the values and the emotions that relate to a brand and the discovery of the methods that will enable it to come into being and more importantly, prosper.

Our work at pi6 has been awarded by the most prestigious design competitions and poster biennales and has been published in the national and international media. Michael is Associate Professor and Graphic Design program coordinator at Deree – The American College of Greece, while both Rena and Michael have led various design workshops, been members of judging committees and taken part in numerous design exhibitions. Furthermore, they are co-founders and co-organisers of the biannual Design Walk exhibition in Athens.
