Design Manager at Sword Health
Hi, I'm Daria! I have 12+ years of experience in product design, design systems, and growth. I currently lead a team of six designers, working cross-functionally with PMs, engineers, and stakeholders to ship products that actually move metrics. Besides management and design role I teach prototyping at a German university. I relocated internationally four times — so career pivots are kind of my thing. I love helping designers figure out their positioning, build portfolios that land interviews, and navigate the messy transition from IC to lead without losing their mind.
“Such a great session with Daria! She reviewed my portfolio and LinkedIn profile and gave me really clear, no-fluff feedback on what to improve. I especially loved her tips on how to stand out on the market, super practical and actionable.”
“As a product designer going through a tough job search, Dasha's advice was spot-on and actionable. I left feeling more confident and ready to move forward.”
“It was a very productive and useful session, which I was looking forward to! We sorted out all the questions and painful topics that concern me. I finally understood where to go and what to do, and my heart felt calmer! :) Thank you so much, Dasha!”
