Bringing meaningful moments, projects and stories to life.

For more than two decades I've helped individuals, businesses, organisations and communities turn ideas into reality - through storytelling, project leadership, events, and meaningful ceremonies.

Things I've Helped Bring to Life

From storytelling and community initiatives to events, organisational projects and ceremonies, my work is united by a simple goal: helping people bring meaningful ideas, stories and moments to life.

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.

I design and deliver events, workshops, conferences and community experiences that bring people together around shared ideas, learning and connection.

Creative & Storytelling

I work across storytelling, documentary, writing and brand narrative to help ideas take shape and reach the right audiences.

  • Produced documentary films from development through to audience engagement and impact design

  • Led storytelling and audience engagement strategies for screen and cultural projects

Leadership & Organisational Support

I’ve led organisations and teams through periods of growth, change and creative development, with a focus on structure, clarity and delivery.

Highlights

  • General Manager, arts festival - led programming, fundraising, organisational development, rebrand and governance during a major period of transition

  • Led teams of 5–50 people across creative and operational programs

  • Board roles across arts, media and community organisations, contributing to governance and strategic direction

  • Designed and coordinated sector-wide conferences on gender equity and workforce participation in media

Moments & Ceremonies

As a celebrant, I work with people to create meaningful ceremonies that reflect their values, relationships and stories.

Highlights

  • Created and delivered personalised wedding ceremonies for couples marking significant life milestones

  • Worked closely with couples to design ceremonies reflecting values and story

  • Integrated storytelling approach into ceremony writing and delivery

  • "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."

    Ben Steel, ScreenWell

  • "We spoke to quite a few celebrants before finding Diana, and honestly none of them felt quite right - something always felt forced or scripted. From the very first message, that feeling completely changed. She took the time to understand us and created something that felt genuinely personal and true to who we are."
