Daria Lada: An Illustrative Year in Review

As we're approaching the one year mark of illustrator Daria Lada joining i2i Art Inc., it’s the perfect time to share a little bit of what she's been up to. Daria had a fantastic year filled with varied editorial assignments. Her very first project with i2i Art was a particularly fun one for The Globe and Mail, art directed by Meredith Holigroski. Simply put, The Globe and Mail runs an annual feature called “Stars and Dogs” which ranks the best and worst performing stocks of the year. To keep it up upbeat and interesting Daria was asked to take the title literally and draw dogs with telescopes, astronaut helmets and so on. The result was truly endearing, particularly successful and won the editorial category Applied Arts Awards for 2025.
