a bit of background 










I'm Diana (pronounced Gee-ana). In 2020, I made the decision to leave the sunny weather in Rio de Janeiro for the rainy days in Ireland. Then in 2024, I moved to the northwest of England. I'm now based right between Liverpool and Manchester.

Moving countries at 24 wasn't an easy thing to do, so I guess you can say I like a good challenge. I'm a creative and organised styling assistant with a background in graphic design. I have experience supporting fashion shoots for Primark out of their main studio based in Manchester. Experienced in working with children’s models across various age groups, with strong knowledge of shoot prep, garment care (including steaming and arranging), and on-set styling support. Known for being calm under pressure, proactive, and very personable. I'm seeking new freelance opportunities to support established stylists and contribute to dynamic studio teams.

When I'm not in work mode, you'll find me in a café or in a bookshop!

Right, now that you know a little bit about me, here's what I can do
for you & your project:
