Welcome

Step into a place where curiosity is celebrated, learning is joyful, and creativity weaves through every facet of life. Hello and welcome! I’m Ioanna Georgiou—a passionate mathematics educator, author, and artist—and I’m delighted you’ve found your way to my website. Whether you are a lifelong learner, an art enthusiast, a parent seeking inspiration, or simply someone who loves to discover something new, I hope you will feel at home here.

 My name is Ioanna Georgiou—though you might also know me as Yoana Yeoryiou, or by the phonetic nickname YoaYeo, a playful representation of how my name is pronounced. My initials, ΙΓ, are proudly featured in my distinctive logo, drawing from their original Greek form: Ιωάννα Γεωργίου.

Born with an insatiable curiosity and a love of both logic and aesthetics, I have devoted my life to exploring the beauty at the intersection of mathematics, storytelling, and the visual arts. My journey has taken me from classrooms bustling with eager learners to the quiet, focused space of the artist’s studio, and to the wide world of publishing, where my ideas find new homes in the hearts and minds of readers around the globe.

 At the very heart of my work lies a simple mission: to ignite curiosity, nurture imagination, and make the wonders of mathematics and creativity accessible to all. I believe that learning should be a joyful adventure, full of questions, experiments, and discoveries. Through my books, blog, events, and bespoke creations, I invite people of all ages to see the world through the twin lenses of mathematics and art.

· Blog: Dive into articles where I share insights on mathematics education, creative projects, art techniques, and the fascinating ways in which logic and art entwine. Whether you are an educator, student, or simply curious, you’ll find thought-provoking posts and practical tips.

· Books: Discover my published works, from engaging children’s stories that bring mathematical concepts to life, richly illustrated by Asuka Young and published by Tarquin group. Each book is crafted to spark delight and encourage exploration. Also browse various free resources available to download. Please don't forget to attribute any copyrighted images to myself and Asuka Young.

· Events: Find out about upcoming workshops, talks, and exhibitions. I love meeting fellow enthusiasts and sharing ideas—whether in person or online. My events are designed to be interactive, inclusive, and inspiring.

· Bespoke Homeware & Accessories: Explore a unique collection of specially crafted homeware and accessories. Each piece is designed with mathematical harmony and artistic flair, bringing a touch of creativity to everyday life. Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift or a special addition to your home, there’s something here for every lover of art and elegance.

Names carry stories, and my brand—YoaYeo—carries a piece of my heritage and identity. Pronounced to echo the sounds of “Yoana Yeoryiou” (Ιωάννα Γεωργίου), YoaYeo is both a playful nod to my Greek roots and an invitation: to connect across languages and cultures, to say hello, and to embark on a journey of discovery together. The ΙΓ logo, meanwhile, is a direct reflection of my initials, rendered in their elegant Greek forms. A Greekspeaking Cypriot myself, I have used the same initials within my very first childhood paintings several decades ago!

 This website is a living, breathing space—a gallery, a classroom, a studio, and a meeting place. It reflects my belief that everyone, regardless of age or background, can find joy in learning and beauty in discovery. Here, mathematics is not just numbers on a page but a language of patterns, symmetry, and imagination. Art is not only for the galleries but for our homes, our lives, and our hearts.
