Creative Producer

Creative producing, to me, is about seeing potential and doing the work to realise it.

It’s the ability to connect people, ideas and story, and to translate that into work that is both practical and meaningful.

For more than twenty years, I’ve worked across documentary film, large-scale events, organisational projects and impact campaigns. While the settings change, the work is always the same: find the strongest story, bring the right people together, and build the conditions for something meaningful to happen.

I’ve produced award-winning documentaries, led nationwide industry events, developed impact strategies, and worked with teams and organisations to help them communicate more clearly and work more effectively. I’ve also spent years working closely with communities and creative teams to shape stories that connect with audiences in honest and human ways.

What I’ve learned is that the best work doesn’t come from scale or ego. It comes from people who care about what they’re making, and are willing to do the work to make it better.

I’m unusually good at connecting people, ideas and opportunities - and then translating that into action. I notice what’s possible in a project early, and I’m not afraid to step into complexity if it means something better can be made.

I care deeply about the heart within the work I am doing. I care about stories that matter. And I care about making sure ideas don’t just stay ideas, they become something real that people can feel.

I’ve never been interested in producing for its own sake. I’m interested in work that changes something - for audiences, for organisations, and for the people making it.

Impact Strategy

Helping shape how stories, projects and organisations create understanding, connection and meaningful change in the world.


This includes clarifying message and narrative, strengthening audience engagement, and developing strategies that ensure work resonates beyond its immediate context - whether in screen, community or organisational settings.

The stage has a large screen presenting the text "Time's Up: A Forum for Change" along with logos of Victoria, Arts Centre Melbourne, and Film Victoria. The hall features a modern ceiling design with circular lighting and suspended equipment, and natural light flows in through windows at the back.

Designing and producing forums, workshops and cultural experiences that bring people together around shared ideas and purpose.


From industry gatherings to community-facing programs, I focus on creating spaces that are thoughtful, inclusive and designed to spark conversation, connection and exchange.

  • "Diana is always my first call whenever we have productions in Australia - and sometimes in other parts of the world too. She’s smart, reliable, and proactive, but what sets her apart is her dedication, thoughtfulness, and values. More than anything, she cares as much about the people and their experience as the details of budgets and logistics, and that makes a huge difference to any project she’s involved in."

    Joyce Tsang, Only Today

  • "Working with Diana has been an absolute gift. Her experience and strategic insight are rare, but she’s also kind, warm, and deeply collaborative. She makes people feel heard, seen, and part of the process. She becomes the structure that holds complex creative work together and helps move it forward. It’s not just her skills that make her invaluable — it’s her understanding of people, ideas and how to bring them to life."

    Hailey Bartholomew, You Can’t Be Serious

  • "Diana is an extraordinary human being who approaches everything she does with care, thoughtfulness, and compassion, making her a pleasure to work with. She has a thorough and detailed approach and draws on a wide range of experience and relationships. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone considering working or collaborating with her."
