Diana hit the ground running when I left her in charge of my design business. With brief outlines and a few client introductions, Diana was able to step in for me when I was on medical leave, juggling multiple clients and complex projects. She is a delight to work with, smart, funny. She has great people skills and is a quick study on new projects. She is conscientious and a hard worker. I would highly recommend Diana to anyone considering hiring her.

Kristen Throop, Combustion Creative

Diana’s creative sensibility is multi-faceted; she brings both an intuitive and studied aesthetic to her work… she is warm and gracious and a pleasure to work with each and every day.

Equally comfortable working independently on projects or collaborating with a team, she is attentive to the strategic goals of a project as well as to the details, and is always mindful of deadlines and budgets. She is a quick study, able to translate product knowledge into market savvy collateral for both print and electronic distribution.

Diana has been an esteemed member of Key’s marketing team for nearly four years. It has been a joy to work with her and I would hire her in a heartbeat should that opportunity arise in the future!

Judy Anderson, Key Curriculum Press

Diana is fantastic. She’s the kind of freelance designer we all dream about, in that you can just hand over the work and NEVER worry that the job will be completed perfectly and on time. She always comes through.

Best of all, she’s super easy to work with. A very organized person by nature, but her wonderful personality makes it a breeze to collaborate. We’d hire her again in an instant!

Peggy Riley, pH7 Design

From the initial brainstorming sessions to the final press check, Diana is a wonderful designer. She is creative, smart and always contributes great ideas. I enjoy working with her on design projects

Jeff Williams, PopSugar

Diana worked swiftly through the production of a TON of private label packaging. She had a friendly attitude, a great work ethic, and her flexibility was much appreciated with our ever-changing timelines. She was a true pleasure to work with.

Sharon Kallenberger, Package Design Director, The Companion Group

Diana was a pleasure to work with at Cardstore. She blends top-notch creative solutions with excellent technical skills and a calm attitude. Her grace and reliability under tight deadlines and shifting priorities were tremendous assets to our team. I recommend Diana highly.
