Once upon a time, she was the sole member of the shipping department, but since opening shop in Beacon, she has fallen in love with curating the gallery space. She is looking forward to creating some interestingly themed group shows in the future.

Diana remembers EVERYTHING about EVERYBODY. We assure you she isn't stalking you! However, there is a really good chance she remembers what you were wearing, what you bought, and what you talked about the last time you visited the store. Even if it was once, last year, for five seconds, when the store was packed.

For the most part she doesn't wake up until the sun goes down & she spends her nights designing & coding websites and dreaming about traveling the world (and sometimes doing just that!). She gets all her news from watching the Colbert Report & is a wanna-be vegan but wonders how she will ever give up mozzarella (the inner Italy is strong with this one).
