I’m Daria

Personal Deets
Howdy! I hail from Florida but now call Portland, Oregon, home.

The outdoors is my happy place, fueled by a lifelong love for creatures of all shapes and sizes. I’ve got stories from slugs to stingrays, and I’m always happy to share. When I’m not outside, you’ll find me thrifting, playing board games, making jewelry, or growing flowers.

Work Deets
I’m an Associate Creative Director (Art) at VML and serve as the creative lead across my accounts. I shape concepts from the ground up, building brand platforms, guiding teams, and directing productions across mediums. I care just as much about the strategic backbone as the craft and detail that bring it to life.

Every project (and every team) has its own rhythm. I like reading the room, finding the spark, and building momentum from there. The goal is always the same: make something thoughtful, beautifully crafted, and worth caring about.
