HELLO, MY NAME IS DASHA WAGNER :)

I'm a professional consultant and graphic designer, with an international clientele. Born and raised in Russia, I graduated from the Herzen State Pedagogical University (Russia) and the University of Northern Iowa (USA) with BFA, MA and MFA degrees in art education and graphic design. Receiving many prestigious awards as a young art student, I was given several special scholarships and grants from both of my universities as well as from Russian and U.S. Governments. It allowed me to continue my art studies in Germany and Austria.

 
I'm a professional member of the Freelancers' Union (USA). I have been working in the graphic design field since 2005. I draw inspiration from everything – art history, old newspapers, modern industrial design or photography. One of the things that inspires me is mail art, stamps, post marks and handwriting – all the things that make cards and stationery unique...

 

In 2008 I have launched my own brand named DM Design Collection. The product range will include greeting cards & stationery, e-books about graphic design as well as textiles and tableware. My first online store will be open soon...
