I’m Darina Miroedova, a graphic designer and illustrator based in Portland, Oregon. Through vibrant and expressive design, I explore identity, media culture, fashion, music, and femininity. I am heavily inspired by American and Japanese comics, electronic dance music culture, and childhood media. Bringing out one’s inner child and is what ignites me to create.
I graduated from the University of Oregon with a BA in Art and Technology. I was a student graphic designer for Student Services and Enrollment Management (SSEM) at the University of Oregon for three years, and am part-time employed as a a law firm office assistant and designer. I am currently seeking full-time employment.
​
Outside of creating art, I enjoy attending music festivals, DJing, video editing, cosmetology,
and spending time with my friends and family.
