hi, i’m Daria — a Los Angeles–based graphic and brand designer working across identity, packaging, print, and visual communication.
i solve practical brand and design challenges through a thoughtful, detail-led approach — where typography, materials, structure, and atmosphere all work together to build a clear visual character.
my practice connects aesthetic sensitivity with real-world production knowledge, taking ideas from early concept to packaging, print, digital assets, and final supplier-ready files.
i’m drawn to work that feels calm, tactile, refined, and intentional — not overly polished for the sake of polish, but shaped through details that carry meaning.
