Diana

About

Diana is a Mexican-Italian children’s illustrator based near London. Her work is playful, full of colour, and always inspired by the stories she shares with her children.​

Before turning to illustration, Diana crafted a decade-long career as a product designer, developing everything from packaging to patented photographic equipment. She now channels that expertise into creating picture book art that feels both imaginative and approachable.


Diana is open to new picture book opportunities, and is seeking representation
