Maria Doumpa is a graphic designer with a background in editorial, branding, and visual communication across print and digital. She studied within the Fine Arts faculty at the School of Film, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, with a focus on film and visual arts, followed by an MA in Graphic Design at Falmouth University in the UK.
Since graduating, she has worked as a designer at the Institute of Directors (IoD), the UK’s longest-running professional membership organisation for company directors and senior business leaders. In this role, she collaborates closely with marketing, policy, and professional development teams to deliver a wide range of design outputs, including reports, publications, campaigns, and event materials.
Alongside her role at the IoD, she works as a freelance designer for the Center for Governance (CFG), producing board-level governance reports and publications for senior stakeholders. Her work focuses on translating complex strategic, policy and governance content into structured, accessible and visually refined editorial documents across digital and print formats.
She specialises in editorial and publication design, with a strong focus on structure, typography, and accessibility. Much of her work involves translating complex, policy-driven subject matter into clear, inclusive, and well-navigated visual formats across both print and digital platforms.
During her role at the IoD, she has contributed to high-profile publications and collaborations, including Assessing the Expected Impact of Generative AI on the UK Competitive Landscape, a research report produced with London Business School examining the opportunities and challenges of generative AI for the UK economy; Progress Through Transparency: The Case for Mandatory Disability Employment and Pay Gap Reporting, a report launched in the House of Lords advocating for more transparent disability employment and pay practices; and the IoD Code of Conduct for Directors, a practical ethical framework designed to support responsible leadership and decision-making in UK boardrooms.
