Hi dear, my name is Daria Kochneva,

I'm a multidisciplinary 3D artist and concept designer with extensive experience spanning visual storytelling and creating digital assets for games and film industries, world brands animations and editorial fashion campaigns, collaborating with renowned artists, influencers, and musicians. My expertise is based on style flexibility and covers both organic character design including anatomy and creature modeling, hard-surface design for machines and vehicles.

Driven by a passion for creating compelling visuals and an eagerness to experiment with new tools and techniques I believe at the heart of my work lies a pursuit of meaning and emotional resonance. I aim to create objects and experiences that carry spiritual value, uniting people through a shared visual language and inspiring them to reflect on the present and future. My mission is to bridge cutting-edge technology with the profound human capacity for fantasy, awakening the imagination to inspire new ways of thinking beyond the boundaries of the possible.

Bringing high-impact visuals designed to capture attention and forge a deep connection with the viewer - for me, it means moving beyond for unconventional, bespoke solutions that allow companies to distinguish themselves in a crowded marketplace, all while maintaining an uncompromising standard of quality and precision in execution.
