In 2003, I completed my studies in Graphic Design and started working as a Graphic Designer for an international gift manufacturer. It was also around this time when I discovered Illustrator, and I was thrilled with this newfound ability to create patterns and illustrations that I could print on T-shirts and dresses for my brand "Darya Hodelia Katsman".

I’d always wanted to be a fashion designer, but I soon realized that I was enjoying the creative process far more than the actual sewing. To get more experience under my belt, I worked as a Design Lead for a POP (Point of Purchase) company while earning my degree in Visual Communications.

In 2009, I graduated with honors from the Avni Institute of Art and Design and started working at one of the top advertising agencies in Israel.

In 2010 I opened KTSMN The Brand Bureau by Hodelia Katsman, my own branding studio, and started working with leading food brands in Israel, Europe, Russia, and the USA, and after 3 years I earned my BA in Filmography. 

In 2014, I decided I was ready to take on the role of Art Director—an ideal position for anyone who lives and breathes design, and I started stuyding Art Direction at the ACC Tirza Granot College. So, after four years of working in a hi-tech company (Conduit), I reopened KTSMN TBB and I'm back in the game. My studio has expanded and grown to include all the wonderful, multifaceted elements of design.
