Hello! I am a multidisciplinary creative leader with over 15 years experience crafting delightful products and experiences.

ABOUT

Dianne Dominguez is an award-winning designer and artist living in Los Angeles, California. Her client roster includes many of the world’s largest brands – Amazon, AOL, AT&T, Palm, Sprint and Microsoft, to name a few. A seasoned start-up veteran, Dianne has helped shape the online presence of several new companies, leveraging emerging technologies and setting the tone for user interface design and e-commerce solutions.

When not in front of her computer, Dianne enjoys creating representational oil paintings in an expressive, alla-prima style with subject matter ranging from landscape to portraiture. The blank white walls of her modern home have recently inspired her to experiment with colorful mixed media pieces composed of paper and resin.
