Despina
Mirarakis

Designed full-page and half-page advertisements for leading Greek lifestyle publications including Maison Décoration Greece and OK! Magazine Greece. Each layout was crafted to capture Despina's brand identity while meeting strict print specifications — balancing elegance, consistency and visual impact on a national stage.

Created the complete visual identity for 8 carpet exhibitions held across Greece and Albania — Athens, Thessaloniki, Crete and Tirana. For each event I designed flyers, roll-ups and all printed collateral, maintaining a cohesive brand language while adapting to each city's audience. For the Albania exhibition we introduced virtual room placement — digitally visualising carpets inside the client's own living space, allowing sales to be completed even for pieces that weren't physically available on-site. A game-changer for the business, which had previously relied solely on in-store presentation.

Designed bespoke event invitations for private client events including product launches, beauty events and fashion bazaars. Each invitation was tailored to reflect the tone of the event — from luxurious and elegant to warm and inviting — ensuring guests felt the experience before they even arrived.

Managed 3 active e-commerce stores end-to-end — product uploads, photography, seasonal banner design and Google Analytics & Ads campaigns. Each store was continuously optimised for conversion, with regular visual refreshes to keep the brand current and the customer experience seamless.

Managed the full social media presence across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn for multiple brands. Responsibilities included content creation, graphic design, video editing, scheduling, community management and paid advertising. Significant follower growth across all accounts within 18 months through a mix of organic content and targeted Meta Ads.

Designed large-format advertising for buses and bus stops across the city — taking the brand from screen to street. The process involved working with exact print specifications, preparing print-ready files and coordinating with the print vendor to ensure perfect colour reproduction at scale.
