Having worked on the same publications as Diana, I can attest to her great creative talents. She has a clear vision about what making compelling content and delivers it to readers every time. Diana collaborates well with writers, photographers and others involved in the editorial process to come up with unique, appealing concepts. Additionally, she does so with a friendly attitude while expecting the best from all her contributors. I highly recommend using her as a writer and editor.

Books
I have edited and designed a variety of books for Best Publishing, including the entire 800-page NOAA Diving Manual, 6th edition. I also created indexes for all the books that required one.
For Mystery of the Last Olympian, a book about the wreck of the HMHS Britannic, the sister ship of the Titanic, I used typefaces that resembled what the White Star Line used in the print shops on board its Olympic-class ocean liners. The publisher opted to have photo insert sections rather than incorporating photos throughout the text pages.
I also designed two children’s books, using big photos, bright colors, and simple words to educate young readers about fish and other marine life.
