Who am I?

A strategic design leader that positively impacts lives

Hi, I’m Diana (but I just go by ‘D’). I help organizations design the future by connecting strategy to the human side of experiences. When I’m not at my desk you’ll find me out in the surf, exploring the world, or trying a new activity in the outdoors.

Life-long learner

With a background in Informatics and a Master’s in Interactive Multimedia, I’ve spent two decades working at the intersection of technology, human behavior, and design.

My career began in interaction design, expanded into research to understand how people engage with products, and evolved into service design to shape end-to-end experiences.

Along the way, I deepened my expertise in psychology, human factors, and behavior design, earning certifications from NN/g, The Team W, Fogg Behavior Academy, Leaders of Awesomeness, and the Systems School.

Today, I use that foundation to set vision, guide organizations, and help teams achieve outcomes with honesty, integrity, and autonomy.
