I’m Dianne, a Service Designer and Design Strategist with over 7 years of experience in research, visual design, strategy. I have worked across technology, education, and healthcare, creating solutions that enhance services while aligning with business goals.
Currently pursuing an MA in Service Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design, I hope to continue deepening my expertise in service innovation with a holistic, human-centered approach. Passionate about blending creativity with strategy, I aim to tackle real-world challenges, improve experiences, and drive meaningful impact for people and communities.
Outside of work, I love outdoor adventures, running, Muay Thai, coffee, food trips, reading, and spending time with loved ones—including my dog!
