Not your average setting for a business meeting…and yet, it was here on the Greek Island of Spetses, in the Sarconic Gulf, where Florence Rossollin and Yves Ronin have holidayed for the last 20 years, that they met Maria Douka. The idea of a Franco-Greek partnership with this webdesigner based in Athens instantly took hold.
Maria’s artist-computer engineer profile sits well with Markcom’s own image. Having completed her studies in computer science at the American College of Greece, followed by a diploma in design, she worked for a number of large companies, which in a curious quirk of fate, were all linked to the transport sector. Maria Douka thus found herself designing the website for Athens Airport, as well as originating communication tools for a helicopter company, a bicycle importer and a cruise specialist. Progressively, she specialised in web design, adopting her trademark artistic approach, infused with her love of shape and colour. And it is precisely in this vein that Maria Douka has designed the website for Indra, PMC Computing, Parions sur Hippodromeand, similarly her current project updating Markcom’s website.
Against the backdrop of an otherwise bleak economic climate, where the majority of Greek agencies are disappearing, Maria is making the best of a challenging situation by concentrating on Europe and her boundless creativity.
