About

I’m Elena Diakova, a graphic designer with more than 5 years of experience creating complex visual solutions for business. I’ve delivered projects for 40+ brands, including corporate identity, digital design, packaging, and communications, as well as design for marketplaces. I lead projects from brief to final layout, coordinating with contractors and printers, and I base my graphic decisions on company goals, which has helped increase CTR and recognition. I quickly dive into new projects, value dialogue and feedback, and I use modern trends and AI-tools to optimize processes. I have experience working with Russian and European companies and am open to remote, hybrid, or in-person roles across the EU, USA, or OAE.
