University of the Arts LondonBA (Hons) Illustration and Visual MediaHi there! I'm Daria, and I'm aspiring to be an illustrator and graphic designer with a focus on children's book illustrations. My dream is to have my own studio where I can bring creative projects to life. As a third-year student at LCC in University of Arts in London, I'm honing my skills in illustration for visual media. Outside of my studies, I'm a big fan of reading, watching classic films, and exploring London for cozy coffee spots. I also have a deep appreciation for art history and love spending time in galleries. I'm excited to share my experiences as a newcomer to London and offer insights on overcoming the challenges of starting something new in a foreign country. Let's connect! Jacqueline

Currently, I’m a Textile Design student at Chelsea College of Arts, taking a sandwich year to complete a Diploma in Creative Computing at the UAL Creative Computing Institute before starting my third year. During my second year, I had the opportunity to go on exchange (back to Paris! 😊) and have also taken part in other exciting international opportunities through UAL.

If you’re feeling unsure about studying abroad or settling into London, I’d be happy to share my experiences and tips!
