Today I’m joined by Dariia Protsiuk, graphic designer and founder of Darinka Signs, whose creative journey spans continents and remarkable life transitions. Born and raised in Ukraine, Dariia discovered her love for design early on. Her early work in Ukraine helped shape the thoughtful, intentional style she’s known for today.After moving to the United States, she faced the challenges of starting over in a new country, navigating uncertainty while building a fresh professional chapter on the East End of Long Island. That journey led to the creation of Darinka Signs.In our conversation, Dariia reflects on her path from Ukraine to America, how the war has affected her and her family, and the ways she stays inspired despite difficult times. We talk about creativity, maintaining continuity in your work, and the practices that keep her grounded. She also shares heartfelt advice about resilience, perspective, and navigating life’s challenges.
