About Me

Communication
with intention.

I'm Diana — a Communication Science student based in Amsterdam, working at the intersection of events, media, and strategic communication. I believe strong communication isn't just about being visible, it's about being intentional and memorable.

My work combines structure and storytelling. From supporting corporate events and coordinating logistics to developing social media concepts and messaging, I focus on clarity, organisation, and thoughtful execution.

This website is also a small portfolio project. I built it myself to demonstrate both my communication skills and my ability to work confidently with digital tools.

★
Strategic Thinking
Every event or campaign starts with a clear objective. I map goals to execution before a single post is published or venue is booked.
◈
End-to-End Execution
From brief to debrief — vendor negotiations, content calendars, day-of logistics, and post-event analytics.
✦
Audience-First Communication
I write and design for people, not platforms. The message adapts; the clarity never does.
