Hello!

I’m Diana Chan, a part-time designer and a full-time artist from Canada. I’ve worked as an events coordinator, a project manager, and a designer, so communicating easy to digest information has always been important to me. I’ve been a designer for 5 years, and I often bring design concepts to my illustration work. I enjoy simplifying difficult concepts for people, and I love having an opportunity to share my thought process as an artist.
