Profile

After graduating CalArts in 2011 with an MFA in Graphic Design, I opened my personal design practice called Studio Diakoff. My experience is predominantly in developing and launching start-up brands in the fashion, beauty, and lifestyle spaces. I seek out clients with whom I can collaborate and who are considerate of our planet and collective future.

I have designed, creative directed, consulted, run photo shoots, and styled, among many other things. I am also an educator, having taught at CalArts, alongside running independent workshops in various creative spaces.

Having many different freelance clients has kept me engaged and curious. I’m always searching for new opportunities to grow.

 I have been working independently since. My experience is predominantly in developing and launching start-up brands in the fashion, beauty, and lifestyle spaces. I like doing conceptual work, and finding interesting solutions, all the while being driven by beauty and thoughtful design. I seek out clients with whom I can collaborate and who are considerate of our planet and collective future.

I have designed, creative directed, consulted, art directed, run photo shoots, and styled, among many other things. I am comfortable directing a team and presenting, as I have experience teaching and lecturing in front of many people.
