Inna Malysh

Inna grew up in the Volyn region of Ukraine and has been drawn to design for as long as she can remember. She originally chose a rather different canvas for her creativity, studying Landscape Design at the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv.

After working in the field, Inna traded landscapes for layouts and moved into graphic design, completing a program at the School of Visual Communication. Since 2016, she has worked as a graphic designer across a lifestyle magazine and two creative agencies in Kyiv, with projects spanning packaging, advertising campaigns, visual communications, and brand identities.

Today, Inna is a Brand Designer at Darien Group, where she creates logos and visual identities and helps shape brands from an early idea into a complete visual world. Branding is the part of design she enjoys most — finding the one idea that makes everything click, then watching it come to life across every detail.

Her love of design doesn’t really stop when the workday does. Inna is known to buy a product simply because the packaging is too good to leave behind — and then keep the box long after the product itself is gone.

Outside of design, she lives in Kyiv with her husband and is a devoted movie lover who will almost always choose the big screen over the couch. She loves everything about food — eating it, cooking it, discovering new dishes and places — and has a particular soft spot for traveling by train, where the journey itself is half the fun. And whenever the season allows, she happily swaps the city for the forest and a basket of mushrooms.
