DIANNA HARDY
Bringing stories to life in front of people’s eyes has always been an impulse, whether through imagination and words, or physical, emotive translation. Books and film were my huge loves ever since I can remember, both of them leading to the desire to be every character I connected with and create scenes that expressed whatever emotion bubbled up in me at the time. I spent a large portion of my childhood daydreaming my world into existence. That I could grow a career allowing me to do just that is something I will always be grateful for.
