Diana is a designer of spaces and gardens, working at every scale –from the smallest details to large landscapes. She believes that the mind and its possibilities are limitless, which is why she enjoys exploring ideas and solving challenges. She is especially strong at generating creative concepts and is always eager to learn something new.
She sees landscape and architecture as inherently connected –one cannot exist without the other. For this reason, her background and experience as an architect have provided a strong foundation for approaching design from a broader and more integrated perspective.
