I’m Daria Lada, an illustrator and artist from Ukraine.

I work with brands and studios to create illustrations that spark emotion and let people feel the story behind the scene.

My journey started with traditional art—painting, sculpture, and bas-relief—before flowing into the digital space, where I discovered new ways to bring ideas to life. With a background in Fine Arts and over five years of experience, I’ve worked with digital agencies, IT companies, game studios, and art teams across the globe.

My style blends vibrant colors, rich textures, and thoughtful compositions. I draw inspiration from nature, ethnic patterns, Art Deco, vintage aesthetics, travel, and social themes—anything that sparks emotion and adds depth.

Whether it’s a brand illustration, editorial piece, character design, product image, or poster—you’ll find my work rooted in story, guided by intuition, and crafted to connect.
