Hey there!
Allow me to introduce myself; I am Dayana, a Bulgarian currently residing in the Czech Republic. My personality thrives on being dynamic and creative, always seeking innovative solutions. I have a genuine passion for experimentation and continually exploring new perspectives.
Throughout my professional and volunteer experiences, I discovered a deep appreciation for optimizing creative processes and fostering organizational efficiency. I firmly believe in the power of graphic design that captivates the eye, exudes cleanliness, and provides solutions that exceed expectations, even those you never knew you needed.
