Project Feedback

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 brands like Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon. I've also co-founded multiple innovative startups (Foodbag, Phind, Dikaio.ai) and Greece’s largest photography community.

For me, design is more than just visuals; it’s a powerful tool for communication and business growth, and I want to help you master it.

Who I help & My Mentoring Style:
My mentorship is designed specifically for busy freelance designers, ambitious juniors, and creative founders. If you have a packed schedule, struggle to align timezones, or simply prefer to work at your own pace without the pressure of live Zoom calls, my Asynchronous Video Mentorship is built for you.

When you share your work or business roadblocks with me, I record detailed, screen-shared video breakdowns. You receive high-level, personalized Art Direction and strategic advice that you can watch, pause, and implement whenever your schedule allows.

Here is exactly how I can help you achieve your goals:
- Portfolio & Career: Auditing your portfolio to highlight exactly what you are missing to land your next job.
- Freelance Growth: Raising your rates, maximizing your value to clients, and working from home efficiently.
- Business Strategy: Navigating the challenges of starting, running, and scaling your own creative business.
- Project Direction: Unblocking you on specific design, branding, or mixed-media projects.

Behind the scenes:
I share my life in Athens with my wife (also a designer!), and I run my own branding agency, Strategic Sheep. When I’m not working, I’m playing basketball, drumming, diving into books, or learning Japanese.
