“I had the pleasure of working with Daria while she was a Senior Designer for our team dedicated to the PepsiCo UK Foods portfolio. During her time with us, Daria consistently delivered exceptional work that exceeded our clients' expectations. Her ability to translate complex business objectives, such as increasing brand awareness or driving sales, into visually compelling and effective design solutions was truly impressive. Daria possesses a unique ability to understand the nuances of a brief and translate them into creative concepts that resonate with the target audience. Also, Daria's positive and supportive attitude created a positive and productive working atmosphere. I highly recommend Daria for any design role that requires a strategic thinker with a proven track record of success. Her ability to deliver high-quality work, build strong client relationships, and inspire her team makes her an invaluable asset to any organization.”
