Professional Freelance Illustrator and Graphic/Web Designer with over 10 years of combined experience across the areas of Print & Web Design, Illustration, E-Commerce, and Internet Marketing.

I began drawing and painting at a young age. And started my artistic career in 2000 as a greeting card artist and designer, and went on to become a senior Graphic/Web designer and E-Commerce Manager with companies like Northern Cards, Piper Group, and WWRD Canada, Inc (formerly Royal Doulton). My freelance career includes clients such as Burman Books, Rogers Publishing, Hudson's Bay Company, Bell Sympatico, Flare Magazine, Dolce, and many more.

I am a motivated team player that works very well under pressure. I am very reliable and have many great references available upon request.

I also produce traditional hand drawn and painted illustration.

"I had such an incredible experience working with Diane on my first book. Not only did she produce beautiful, creative and unique work, but was extremely accommodating and open to any ideas I had.
