I’m Daryna Bendas, a multidisciplinary designer based in Vienna. I work at the intersection of product, UX, and visual design, often taking projects from an early, undefined idea to something people can actually use.

Over the past five years, I’ve worked both independently and as part of cross-functional teams — directly with founders, product managers, developers, and clients. My role often goes beyond designing screens: I help clarify what we’re building, challenge decisions when something doesn’t make sense, establish the visual direction, and stay involved until the work is implemented. I’m equally comfortable untangling a complex product flow and obsessing over typography, motion, or the smallest interaction detail.

I believe the strongest work comes from understanding both: why something should exist and exactly how it should feel when someone uses it.
