What others say about me

Dianne is a creative, thoughtful, and collaborative design leader. She’s incredibly versatile and I’ve always been impressed by her ability to contribute equally between high level strategic and detailed design work. She has a real talent for transforming the abstract/ambiguous into something tangible. Always willing to help, she gives really insightful feedback to move things forward. And on top of all that, she has a great eye for design and for making things beautiful.

Ryan FernandezDesigner/Art Director

Working with Dianne is a real treat on many levels. Her creative abilities are impressive and vast. A quick look at her portfolio and you see how beautiful her work is. She has an innate business understanding that lends itself to the ultimate purpose of every corporate project: driving sales. She is a true pro and just really fun to be around. I constantly scheme for opportunities to work with her.

Cindy EngstromCEO at Sircle Advertising

Dianne has the rare combination of abilities to both think conceptually while sweating the details. While at Palm, I would lean on Dianne to work on nearly every major project that came through the Marcom team. From tradeshow graphics to collateral to web design, Dianne never disappointed. Her enthusiasm for her craft comes through with each deliverable. Her ability to deliver compelling creative and high quality graphics is top notch.
