About Daria

My portfolio website: dariakovaleva.me


Hi! I'm Daria - a product designer with 5 years of experience designing digital solutions end-to-end, from discovery to shipped results. I’ve worked in high-ownership roles, partnering closely with PMs and engineers to turn complex challenges into simple, scalable experiences. I care deeply about craft and detail, and I also think in systems, balancing user needs, business goals, and long-term impact.

In my most recent role at an AI LMS company, I led the 0→1 design of a community product within an enterprise LMS, contributing to a 40% increase in sales and 2× MAU growth.

I've also worked hands-on with design systems and have built AI into my workflow as an accelerant for research, iteration and building.

I'm open to new opportunities - let's create something amazing!☺
