Daryna Lukanyuk is a creative producer working at the intersection of craft, culture, design, and meaning-making. She lives and creates between Podillia, Lviv, and the Carpathian Mountains. A designer and researcher of traditions, Daryna is the co-founder of GUSHKA and the creative force behind Didova Hatchyna, a gathering place in the Carpathians rooted in community, culture, and meaningful encounters. She develops concepts and visual identities for creative spaces and brands, explores the cultural heritage of the Carpathians and Podillia, and works with sound as a healing and meditative practice. In 2024, Daryna was named to Ukrainska Pravda's "UP 100: The Power of Women" list, recognized for combining entrepreneurship with cultural revival and a distinctly contemporary Ukrainian sensibility. She believes in beauty as a universal language, in craft as a way of remembering who we are, and in projects as living organisms for which she creates meaning, form, and places of connection.
