I'm Sofiia Stieshyna a brand designer based in Ukraine, working with clients worldwide. I have an unconventional background for this field a Master's in Environmental & Industrial Design. It shaped the way I think about design: not just how things look, but how they feel.

That's exactly how I think about your brand.

I design identities that make two people feel truly seen at once — the business owner, and the person they're trying to reach. Zero revision projects aren't my goal. They're just what tends to happen when you listen carefully enough.

FAQs

What is your pricing?

Brand Identity starts from $1200. Packaging — from $500. Reach out and after our initial brief or discovery call I'll send you a detailed proposal.

How long does a project take?

Brand Identity typically takes 3–4 weeks from the discovery call to final file delivery. Timelines may vary depending on project scope and feedback speed.

Do I need to have a clear idea of what I want before reaching out?

Not at all! Many clients come to me without a clear brief — just a feeling that something needs to change. That's exactly what the discovery call is for.

How many revision rounds are included?

Two rounds of revisions are included in every project. In practice, most projects require minimal changes — because I invest time upfront to truly understand your vision before designing anything.

What do I need to have ready before we start working together?

You don’t need to have everything figured out! All you need is a clear understanding of your business goals and target audience. Once you book, I will send you a detailed brand discovery questionnaire to help us define the rest before any design work begins.

Do you work with international clients?

Yes — I’m based in Ukraine but work with clients worldwide. Most projects are handled remotely, and I adapt my process to different time zones.
