Tatiana Franchuk

Born and raised in Kyiv, Ukraine, Tatiana’s journey into design started early. At twelve, she received her first graphics tablet and began creating digital illustrations of her favorite game characters – exploring color, shape, and personality on screen simply because it felt exciting. What began as a hobby slowly turned into a deeper curiosity about how visuals can shape emotions, tell ideas, and connect people.

She later earned a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, which strengthened her technical thinking and helped her build effective communication with developers, product teams, and cross-functional specialists.

Over the past five years, Tatiana has partnered with clients from more than 20 industries, including startups, investment firms, and global brands. Her work spans branding assets, investor presentations, marketing visuals, and UI/UX design support. The projects she contributed to supported fundraising efforts of more than $300M and gave her the opportunity to work on bold concepts, explore different business visions, and adapt design solutions to a wide range of markets and audiences.

Tatiana joined Darien Group in 2025 as a Graphic Designer. She was eager to work with a new set of project formats and creative requirements, take on diverse design challenges, and integrate into a new collaborative team environment. She enjoys thoughtful, intentional design, especially when it helps transform complex ideas into clear, structured, and visually engaging narratives.

Interesting facts:

In 2021, Tatiana designed an official in-game sticker for a professional esports team, which successfully passed Valve’s approval process and became available worldwide as part of the Dota 2 Winter DPC bundle. A longtime Harry Potter fan, she brings a touch of imagination and individuality into her work – and when she once led a UI/UX design team, they jokingly called themselves Team Slytherin.
