A few favourite PIECEs
After graphic design studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and Bologna, Daria transitioned from working in design studios to becoming a full-time freelance illustrator. After moving to London and not feeling completely fulfilled at work, she started her stationery brand, giving forgotten sketches and unused drawings a second life.
The brand continues to grow, with a focus on funny, hand-painted designs that resonate with a wide audience. Daria's brand is using responsibly sourced, sustainable materials and recyclable/biodegradable packaging.
