Diana D'Alesio
Diana is a Senior Art Director and Designer based in Toronto, Montreal born and raised, and deeply uncomfortable writing about herself in third person.
I like clean layouts and colourful work, even though I dress like I’m constantly heading to a creative funeral. When I’m not working, I’m probably redesigning my apartment for the 100th time, scrolling Facebook Marketplace, or hanging out with my two feline coworkers.
I’ve worked across everything from social and digital to CRM, OOH, print and integrated campaigns, across categories like automotive, retail, healthcare, CPG and beverage. Some of that work has even won a few things. Did I mention I’ve been known to throw down a meannnn sizzle video?
