“Diana has led the design on seven different books I have managed over the last few years and has produced excellent quality designs each time, which is why we've always returned to work with her. She has a great eye for imagery, excellent attention to detail and is good at seeing the book as a whole, as well as understanding the detail need on individual pages. She's been helpful in advising me as an editor when needed and is a positive and proactive person to work with.”

“I have now completed two book designs with Diana. Her approach to these projects helped me realise my vision for these books with striking layouts and font choices, giving them a strong aesthetic appeal which showed off the photography rather than competing for attention. The process from start to finish was on time, efficient, friendly and professional."

“I have worked with Diana for well over a decade, both at Rough Guides and Cool Places. 
She was a key member of the team that made the transition to more lavish illustrated books at Rough Guides; at Cool Places she has been similarly key in layout and picture research of our print titles. She has a great eye for both good design and the right image to go with it. Above all she is a joy to work with in both capacities: flexible, creative and pragmatic, and – crucially – conscientious and reliable. I would recommend her to any putative employer or colleague, freelance or otherwise.”

“Diana’s great working to a brief – however tight – and, moreover, asks the right questions you forgot to consider. She has the ability to conjure up some magic or a left-field design idea that works wonders for a project lacking visual direction. Whether the demanding voice in the room is from sales or an eccentric author Diana has the ability to flow an assignment through to a successful conclusion keeping folk on board with careful attention to the values or ethics of a book’s content as well as the look.”
