Hello! My name is Daniel Odnoralov, but you can call me Denya. I’m from a very large Ukrainian and Russian family that has an intensely rich mixture of cultural perspectives and beliefs. These perspectives and community foundations are the cornerstones within my design practice. I’ve always been intrigued by the many design practices and have always enjoyed learning how my skills as a designer can change how systems can live and interact with one another. I’ve grown especially attached to the concept of how I can create interactive environments that inspire a sense of discovery and play for the user. I love to explore the world of user interaction and environments where design can help the user through many complex avenues of systems.
These systems range from diverse narratives, branding, illustrations, storytelling, and the raw code and executions that create these vivid interactions. As a designer, I know the value of unifying these design principles into a living system, and how I go about designing them is the greatest joy of the journey.
Instagram is an excellent platform that I use to post quick sketches, ideas, and general inspirations that fuel my design workflow. I also use this space to connect to major agencies and close individual design rivals. Having this close community of followers and designers always keeps me on my toes and strengthens my design pursuits.
Linkedin is by far the most professional platform I’ve ever used. I love to use Linkedin’s connections to build my own network of professionals and companies. The platform is also a great source to seek new information and news on major changes in the world of design and business.
Discord is a great place to join large communities and servers that explore a large range of hobbies and interests, not just gaming. I use Discord to establish quick contact with peers and friends to share, update, and create new ideas and general conversations. Discord’s user platform makes it one of the best social platforms I’ve ever experienced. Plus who doesn’t like getting new memes from friends daily.
The Behance platform is where I present my more complex and intricate case studies and projects. Ranging from Branding, UI/UX, to Illustrations and motion. I love to use Behance’s rich community and diverse range of critical designers and illustrators to find inspiration and unique project concepts.
