Hi. I'm Diane. That's me in the jar over there. I'm a photographer, writer, and designer here in Calgary.

I graduated from SAIT's Journalism program in 2008, where my love for media grew into a complete obsession. Newspapers, magazines, advertisements... I love 'em all. And the internet! Oh, how I love the largely-underutilized cultural revolution that is the internet. (And I can help you utilize it better!)

When it comes to presenting a product, message, or idea, I believe the way it's presented is as important as the message itself. This means using eye-catching photography, bold-yet-simple design, and clear writing.

Theatre Review - Night of the Living Dead
"Deep in the bowels of the SAIT sub-basement, eerie wails of the undead resonate through the walls. A crowd, perfectly alive, moves cautiously through the dimly lit hallway. Their destination, should they make it there, is the Radio-Broadcast-News program's theatrical version of Night of the Living Dead." Read the full story...

SAIT's Knights in Shining Armour
Published October 2007 - Weekly Albertan Newspaper
"In a SAIT classroom adjacent to a hangar filled with airplanes and helicopters, there is a project of medieval proportions. Two instructors at the Art Smith Aero Centre, one of SAIT's satellite campuses, are making traditional suits or armour by hand." Read the full story...

Welcome Week Story
Published September 2007 - Weekly Albertan Newspaper

Why Art in Education is Imperative
Published May 4, 2005 - Calgary Herald
"Not having art in education is equivalent to not having two halves in a whole. According to an April Q web question, more than 65 per cent of voting Calgarians think one mandatory art class is not necessary at the high-school level. Alberta's constant and continuing lack of funding to art programs at the junior and senior high school levels supports the theory that art just doesn't matter. Here's why it does:" Read the full story...

BTW, yur communicasun sux.
Published May 12, 2005 - Calgary Herald
"My office is just like any other. People come and go. Emails, faxes, phone calls, voicemails, and plain old regular mailings buzz around our hive as we go about our daily business. The buzzing is so normal, so easy, that we forget its significance. We forget the simple rules that turn a crude, amateur message into a professional, intelligent statement." Read the full story...

'20s Style Reveals Roaring Change
Published May 20, 2005 - Calgary Herald
"Think Gatsby-esque glam: powerful, yet frivolous and free-spirited fashions. Extravagantly simple styles on long, boyish silhouettes and evening wear designed for wild dancing. The roaring decade's fashion was inspired by much more than just aesthetic appeal, and it's resurgence in today's fashions is a subtle and profound statement." Read the full story...

Film Review - Amelie
"Amelie was a young girl when she learned to live inside her own imagination. Subtly portrayed as a product of fate, she learns from her parents’ actions to keep to herself, to form her own sense of reality, to envision a better, more fascinating world. In the French film Amelie, audiences are let into the absurd mind of this twenty-something dreamer." Read the full story...
