YakasDesign is a web design and printed media portfolio of graphic designer, Melina. This site was set-up to showcase my work and any personal projects.
If you have a project that needs some creative input that’s where I come in! I work with organisations big and small, creating usable and attractive stuff for the web and for print. It constantly evolves as a result of new technologies and my curiosity to try out new things.
Prior to being self-employed, I worked as Design Manager for Macmillan Publishers. I later moved into IT Support, which started my career in IT and Web Design/Development. I have since gained a rich background and experience in designing for the web and for print, having worked on a wide variety of projects.
Away from the computer and screens and when not working, I listen to music, I enjoy photography, gardening, travel and keep fit by running (slowly working my way towards a 10k run!) and keeping it green by cycling. Occasionally I dabble in sustainability-environmental issues and projects. I am fluent in English and Greek and have produced work in both languages.
I like clear and clean design, my inspiration comes often from all things around me, nature, different cultures.
You can view my LinkedIn profile for more details of my work backround and experience. Or you can download a PDF of my portfolio. If you want to find out more about how I can help you then please get in touch. The best way to contact me is by using the contact form on this site or on twitter.
