Icon Thoughts on Design…among other things

Actions and Reactions by Diana Lodi

ABOUT

I love design – because I love people.

My interests in art, psychology, anthropology and sociology have led me to traveling, developing brand identities and designing for the web. People are undeniably interesting and design gives me reason to research and further understand the complexity of the human mind and social condition.

Through my travels, I have developed an open mind towards cultural diversity and a deeper understanding for the quality of life. By understanding these unique differences, I can begin to examine the correlation between cultural influences, emotional connections and the utilization of design and technological trends for communication.

My desire to contribute to society and to help people has led me to working with the non-profit and environmental sectors through my role as an educator and designer. Respectively, all of my life passions are interwoven in the fabric of design.

Designers can create normalcy out of chaos; they can clearly communicate ideas through the organizing and manipulating of words and pictures. —Jeffery Veen

We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate.The world is all gates, all opportunities.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson
