"OMG! Diane, what a gorgeous job you did at Parinamah! You are absolutely gifted. So sophisticated and professional and artistically delicious. Thanks for your clever eye and outside-the box brilliance. You are an inspiration and I would love to learn from you--I've never claimed to be a merchandising person--I've been out of retail for a long, long time. But you, as I said, are a genius. I had a gay friend in PS when I was at Joseph Magnin who was the display person and OMG! Same as you! Someone who makes me slap my forehead and say, "Why didn't I think of that?"
-- Parinamah Spa in Manzanita, OR

Her business ethics are above approach, and the staff she hand picked stayed with her for many years in her several businesses.

"Diane presents herself as a positive and creative thinker which makes her ideas unique and applicable to the client. I have seen her work results - from the beginning of a challenged situation with an old house - transforming the exterior, landscape and interior into a wonderful ambience where one wishes to never leave."
-- Erica Hopper

"While in the process of the remodel of my 1960s ranch-style home in Corona, Diane stepped in with suggestions that the contractor implemented to further enhance the work in progress. She maximized and transformed non-practicable, unused areas of the house into more livable, functional and thoughtfully designed spaces. In addition to lending her talents as a designer, her beautifully appointed decorator touches highlighted my personal tastes, which further assisted me in turning the project from a house to a home."
