I’m Daria.

I don’t believe you have to be just one thing. I tried it for a while. It didn’t stick.

What I do

I’m CEO of Travido and run the company together with Christian. Travido makes video safety systems for emergency vehicles, developed and manufactured in Germany. It’s not exactly small-talk material. I like it anyway, because it’s about recordings whose authenticity has to be independently verifiable later on.

Christian and I founded the FEEL Group in Florida in 2026. FLITCH came about earlier, at our kitchen table.

And I write. Thrillers for adults, books for kids and teens.

Christian

Christian is my husband and cofounder. We share a life and several companies. It isn’t always relaxing, but it’s rarely boring. He usually wants to know first how something works. I usually want to know first where it’s going.

What else keeps me busy

Psychology and architecture. Artificial intelligence and old books. Why some brands make people feel something and others don’t. I can spend hours on a brand identity and, an hour later, on the question of how to take care of yourself in a crisis. That isn’t a plan. It’s curiosity.

I love to cook, ideally for people who stay at the table for a long time.

And we share our home with four guinea pigs: Rocky, Mr. Grey, Toffy, and Mojito. By now they’re the main characters of a children’s book series about money and economics.

And yes: I’m an Aries. That doesn’t explain anything. But it does excuse a few things.

Florida

Cape Coral is part of our plans. More water, more time outdoors, an everyday life that feels less cramped. I don’t expect a perfect life there, just a more intentional one.

What I’m still working on

I like taking on responsibility. Sometimes more than a calendar can hold. I have more ideas than one year can carry, and I lose track of time when I work. I love structure, and I still have to remind myself that not everything needs to be optimized.

I want to be successful. But I don’t want to realize one day that I was so busy building a beautiful life that I forgot to live it.
