While managing Hubud as a partnership manager at that time, she co-founded a non profit organization with her two friends to create a hands-on contextual sustainable entrepreneurship education program for youth in peripheral in Indonesia, E.thical. To date, E.thical has helped launch and build 19 sustainable businesses in Flores, and giving access to young entrepreneurs in remote areas in Indonesia.

Together with the United Nations, she organized more than 2000 projects that tackled different social issues: education, poverty, woman empowerment, etc. in Latin America, South-East Asia and Africa. Daria is a life-long learner. She is constantly looking for new opportunities and skills to obtain. She has switched between spheres – Sales, Marketing, Education, and IT. Currently, she is responsible for one of the fastest-growing markets at Canva, working on marketing and partnerships and helping to make design accessible for everybody.
