Daria Korol — Official Participant of The Continental Pageants Europe® 2024

My name is Daria Korol. I am 37 years old. I am an architect and founder of the Interior Design Studio “Korol_Design”, my last name translates as “King”. It reflects the strength of my character and thirst for life.

I have always been drawn to beauty and learned to create space, to make architecture and interiors out of stone and dust that will live for people. My designs expand and integrate the beauty of materials with the environment, and the creativity I add to my designs enhances the beauty even further. Beauty is not only how we look, but also how we feel. Through my projects, I create spaces that motivate, inspire, comfort and complement people’s lifestyles and I feel happiness when the image becomes reality. And this is what prompted me to create Korol Design.

When the war began, my daughters and I were forced to leave our beloved city of Kharkiv and move to another country in search of safety. Now my refuge is Denmark. It was very difficult to leave my hometown, lose my business, home, part with loved ones, and start all over again in an unfamiliar country, where there is an unknown language and culture, but I know that hard times give birth to strong people, and I am ready to get up and move on.

Helping children who fled the war, finding caring sponsors for them among the local population here in Denmark is what I want and can do for my people who are desperately fighting for freedom, even a small front and help is a huge contribution to the common cause and victory. Helping pets in Ukraine who have lost or been abandoned by their owners due to hostilities, animals suffer no less than people, and it is our duty to take care of them; they are even more helpless than people.

I believe even after the darkest night the dawn will pass, and this faith helps me move forward towards my small and big victories, towards my global and simple human goals.
