She's exceptionally skilled at what she does and bring real calm, creativity, and professionalism to set - always a pleasure to work with.” — Steve Hughes, Director
“I first met Diana working on The Bill and later in Casualty. Her glowing and kind personality and ability in makeup and hair is beyond expectation especially with artists of diversity. I always feel safe in her hands.” — Cat Simmons, Actress
“Diana is a great team player and an asset to any makeup and hair team, she has good all round skills for crowd or main team” — Jill Sweeney, BAFTA Winning Designer
“If you need a highly skilled, highly professional makeup artist for your shoot, then Di is the woman you want. What makes her a stand-out choice beyond her clear mastery of makeup is her ability to fit into the team and totally put models and actors at ease. It's a great feeling knowing that everything is under control and everyone is coming away from her mirror relaxed and ready to start.” — Alistair Hood, Photographer
