Diana Nguy?n is a Vietnamese-Canadian freelance illustrator and comic artist, currently based in Toronto. Her love of line and mark-making informs much of her work. She often utilizes negative space, intentional lines, and a minimal colour palette to amplify emotional undertones. She is interested in marginalized stories, memories, relationships between people, nature, and the magic of mundane moments.

In her spare time, she can be found watching movies, very bad tv, falling in a wormhole of random facts, sewing, reading, exploring nature, playing with her dog, and drinking too much coffee.
