I’m Daria

Howdy! I hail from the Gulf Coast of Florida but now call Portland, Oregon, home.

The outdoors is my happy place, fueled by a love for creatures of all shapes and sizes—I’ve got stories from slugs to stingrays, and I'm happy to share. I also find joy in thrifting, playing board games, making jewelry, and growing flowers.

As an Associate Creative Director (Art) at VML, I’m quite comfy navigating conceptual thinking, hands-on art directing productions, and diving into various forms of design and illustration.

Each project (and team dynamic) is nuanced, so I like to be collaborative and resourceful when providing a thoughtful creative solution. Understanding the big picture and working out the teeny details are equally important and special to me.
