About Daria

Art director and creative researcher, I design projects at the intersection of imagery, visual storytelling, and contemporary research.

I work with artists, cultural brands, and independent structures to give shape to strong visual concepts: moodboards, experimental videos, visual editorials, curatorial writing.

With experience in exhibition curation, video editing (Premiere Pro, After Effects), and critical narration, I bring a sensitive and engaged perspective to projects related to memory, migration, feminism, or alternative forms of storytelling.

Skills: art direction, iconographic research, video editing, cultural project development, proposal writing, visual identity.

Based in Paris – available for in-person or remote assignments.
Rates adaptable according to the nature of the project.
