Thank You, Diane! by Jenna Freedman

Diane, as I think I've told you, sometimes I write your reference letter in my head. Getting a chance to share how skilled, talented, brilliant, fun to work with you are will be almost as great as you are!

I'm so glad to have gotten to work with you, Diane! Your art always brightened up my day and is much beloved by the students. I'm sad I can't say goodbye in person and bake something, so for now here's a picture of something I would make as a goodbye

Thanks so much Diane! You are such an uber talented designer and I have loved your visuals and aesthetics at BLAIS. Thanks so much for all you've done for us. <3 Melanie

It's been so great working with you over the past two years! I'll miss working with you on posters, icons, stickers, etc., and seeing your amazing designs around campus! Best of luck in the future!

You are the BEST Diane!

We owe so much of the amazing creative designs around BLAIS to your skilled hand. I am deeply thankful for all your help with my my late requested Wikipedia posters. You never once complained, and instead came back with 5 choices that were equally amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will miss you!

Diane!!!! It has been an absolute privilege and joy to get to work in close proximity to you over these past few years. You've been here through it all: the archives gym, the move to Milstein, endless posters and facebook posts and signs. Your incredible design talents, your company on trips to get snacks, and your stupendous knowledge of cool fonts will be missed. And our posters will never be as good as they were in 2017-2020.

Dear Diane,
Getting to share space with you and getting to work with you at Barnard has been a true delight, for which I am so grateful. Thank you for bringing your brilliant and inimitable creativity and thoughtfulness to such a wild range of projects (including the Shange event last fall; I still look at that flyer and get so emotional, it's so beautiful). I will miss your energy, your presence, your kindness. I wish you everything wonderful and delightful in art and life <3 Vani

You're awesome!
