The Proof is in the PUDDING PARTNERSHIP

Conversations with the founders who outgrew the industry standard

(Keep your reading glasses on 🤭 these founders had a lot to say, and I didn't want to cut the good parts just to save space.)

- Megan Long, Founder Second First®

"It felt like we suddenly had an executive-level expert embedded in our team."

DRS was first on my radar over a year ago after seeing projects that really resonated with my aesthetic: polished, professional, and B2B appropriate, without being cold and lifeless.

Diana has the ability to masterfully interpret the client's vision, while layering on her own expertise and creative direction. Because of this, there were areas that she took the initiative to provide alt copy, or add to the project in ways she knew would convert better, but never in a presumptuous or pushy way.

When I received the finished draft of this sales page, I totally cried at how absolutely seen and understood I felt, and how well-taken-care-of the brand was. She clearly has high standards for herself and her studio, and it's incredibly appreciated. She immediately understood not only our company, but our ideal client (and their psychology). 

There is no way this project and upcoming launch would be nearly as successful without Diana.

Founder of Needles and Spoons and Beep Marketing Co.

"There are no limits to what Diana can do."

I love that as soon as I bring an idea to her, she is 100% in. She has helped me not only relaunch my website and brand, but she goes above and beyond. She's helped me launch a directory, my podcast and even has gone out of her way to create a shot list for photoshoots (all while finding our studio for us from another country AND communicating with the photographer directly).

I cannot tell you how much peace of mind it gives me as a business owner to have Diana on our side. I do not need to worry about my branding because it's in the best hands possible.

CLIENT SINCE 2021

- Isaac, Founder of Skin Grip

"I can create strategy and hand it over to you knowing that you can take it and run with it. That is very freeing for me."

A lot of brands think they are doing a good job, but in reality they have no direction. They have no strategy. They just have good design. The reason I personally love working with you is because you understand brand and storytelling on a level that goes much deeper than colors and logos. I do believe that there is a special essence to the human touch that allows us to communicate emotions and feelings better than AI.

CLIENT SINCE 2022

- Dynasti Hunt Harris, Founder of Tayden Impact Partners

"Working with Diana is one of the best decisions I’ve made as a founder. "

She built Tayden’s original brand from the ground up with such clarity, care, and intentionality - and it continues to hold true, even as we’ve evolved. When we needed to revisit and expand key materials recently, I knew immediately that I wanted to bring her back in.

Diana has that rare ability to blend strategy with design, to translate vision into something that feels not just beautiful but true. She helped us organize, refine, and elevate our branding experience so it could keep pace with our growing systems and deeper body of work. Every time we work together, I walk away feeling seen, supported, and proud of what we’ve built.

I keep coming back because Diana doesn’t just get the assignment, she makes it better. She’s a thought partner, a systems thinker, and someone who genuinely cares about the work and the people behind it. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

CLIENT SINCE 2021

Rooted in Results

marissa, pané marketing

"I've been obsessed with your work since like 2023..honestly it may be back even farther to 2021 lmao - you were the FIRST choice if not the only choice. I am the pickiest b*tch when it comes to design-related things, and I knew I'd never be happy with someone I hired unless I was already obsessed with everything they produced - like a full, wide range of projects in your portfolio showing multiple styles really sealed the deal for me because most designers have 'a style' and it infuriates me when everything looks different....but still the same

Diana is super organized, on top of her sh*t, incredible at communication, and will give you so much more than you think you need

Just hire her. she's a magical design wizard who somehow knows you better than you know yourself and can blend every nook and cranny of your personality into one cohesive brand that feels SO you even when you yourself can't ever really articulate who you are. 

"With this brand refresh I'll feel more comfortable with higher price tags"

She doesn’t just design; she listens, collaborates, and then brings ideas to life in a way that always exceeds expectations. Her creativity, combined with her passion for quality, makes every project feel personal and polished.

I chose Diana because of her portfolio’s exceptional quality and her reputation for being reliable and easy to work with. We have worked together on several projects now - she's quick, ultra creative, and nails my vision every time.

Her ability to deliver high-caliber designs made the investment worthwhile, and I knew I’d be getting work that felt uniquely crafted for my brand.

Her dedication to both creativity and precision truly sets her apart!

"The best part of working with Diana is her commitment to understanding my vision down to the smallest detail."

lacey madison, founder, investor

Diana is a long time friend of mine who just from day one... I knew she was ABSOLUTELY INSANELY Brilliant and SO incredibly talented. She CONSISTENTLY tested the boundaries for what was possible in Design and it is so much of the reason I decided to work with her.

I am an against the grain type of founder - while everyone else goes left, I go right and Diana just understood that whole heartedly and truly captured that essence from day one.

Because of her - I was able to buy back more time doing other things in my business and enjoy the last few weeks of pregnancy I had left!

Ummm... run dont walk. Like don't consider anyone else... you know that list of contractors you were tossing between? Throw it in the bin. It is a clear answer. HIRE HER.

"I haven’t always had great experiences hiring people for various projects in my business. Working with Diana was probably one of the best yet."

She was open, receptive, held space, and created magic with me. And, she delivered on EVERYTHING we discussed, PLUS. Thank you for bringing your creative genius to my visual representation.

nichole joy, business mentor

"I feel an immediate sense of confidence in my ability to sell out my offer! The quality and intention put into each design in Diana's portfolio is something I wanted for myself!"

The design’s Diana created left me feeling like I have a million dollar product and I’m ready to walk into any sales call and show it off for the world to see!

Diana is truly amazing! She listened so carefully to exactly what we're needing and went above and beyond to create something so unique! The best part of working with her was the level of quality, and seamless communication when talking with her!
