Hey saints! I’m Diana (dee‑ah‑nuh) — designer, writer, literary agent, punk-hearted Catholic making space for beauty, grit, and heaven.
When I was a kid, I swore I’d grow up to be Ty Pennington — not because he was on every shelf and screen (okay, maybe a little), but because he made people’s homes look like hope. I wanted that. The big messy multi-hyphen life, building spaces that felt like grace with a side of grit.
These days, I’m busy decorating homes that look like God actually lives there, writing words that dig deep, and chasing beauty wherever it hides — all while letting grace wreck my carefully laid plans. I believe good design, true hospitality, and reckless love are how people meet God — the same way saints did, right in the middle of their ordinary, extraordinary vocations.
Pull up a chair. Let’s make something holy (and slightly rebellious) together.

I’m a Literary Agent too!
Because at the end of the day, I care about stories that lead people home — to themselves, to each other, and most of all, to God. That’s why I throw my weight behind Catholic and Christian voices. I’m a big believer in that “We need saints who…” poem inspired by JPII — saints who wear jeans, blast music, and make love look wildly ordinary. It’s exactly why I want to tell Catholic stories: so people see that holiness isn’t stiff or distant, it’s messy and real and right here in the thick of our lives.

“Hospitality means primarily the creation of a free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy. Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place.”
Henri Nouwen
