What's included in the trial?
Every trial is a little different—here’s what Dimitris says about their trial:

I’m Dimitris Vakrinos, though most people know me as Vakri. I’ve built a multi-faceted career in Brand Design, Strategy, and Localization Design, working with global giants like Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon. For me, design is more than just visuals; it’s a powerful tool for communication, ensuring messages resonate and connect effectively.
As an organization enthusiast, I believe great design starts with clarity and structure, principles that I’ve applied throughout my career as a freelancer and now as the founder of Strategic Sheep: a company that helps businesses stand out through bold brand identities and strategies.
My curiosity drives me to explore new opportunities, including startups. I’ve co-founded innovative ventures like Foodbag, Phind, and Dikaio.ai, each designed to address real-world challenges. I’m also passionate about photography and videography, serving as the co-founder of Greece’s largest photographic community and regularly sharing insights through educational podcasts.
Behind the scenes, I share my life in Athens with my wife, who’s also a designer. When I’m not working, you’ll find me playing basketball, drumming, diving into books, or watching anime. I’m also currently learning Japanese as part of my lifelong commitment to personal growth.
As a mentor, my goal is to empower you to find your unique path and overcome challenges in both your professional and personal life. Here are just a few areas we can explore together:
- Launching a career as a designer
- Navigating freelancing
- Starting and running your own business
- Managing time
- Working from home efficiently
- Raising your rates and maximizing your value
- Tackling personal or business challenges
