Diane’s career has spanned roles as a designer, project manager, and team leader at numerous interior, architecture, and engineering firms across California, Kentucky, and Indiana.
While working as an interior designer, she was introduced to the rather new profession of lighting design. Lighting sparked a deep fascination with its ability to transform and invigorate both interior and exterior environments.
Since 1998, Diane has focused on lighting design, taking pride in helping project teams develop lighting solutions that harmonize aesthetics, budget considerations, and energy/LEED standards. Her recent projects encompass transportation, hospitality, museum, and sacred spaces.
