Despite having 10+ years of experience as a Creative in what are considered two of the most evil industries in modern society – pharmaceuticals and advertising – Diana Poon has been described as “a talented copywriter” and “actually not too bad of a person once you get used to her.” As an Associate Creative Director, Diana has led creative teams on major healthcare brands you’ve probably never heard of like Cyramza, Tempo, and, most recently, Pfizer Vaccines. She has concepted for major campaigns and led pro bono pitches for causes such as abortion access, late-stage cancer treatment, and dyslexia.
A jackass of all trades, Diana graduated with a BA in Creative Writing from Amherst College, where she was also Pre-Med because she is an insufferable nerd. She is now dabbling in drawing and graphic design because see previous sentence. She asks that you be patient with her visual art abilities and that you give her advice when she seeks it because she loves to learn (GUESS why).
Diana is inspired by post-modern writers like Anne Carson, David Foster Wallace, E.E. Cummings, and Vladimir Nabokov. More importantly, she watches a lot of anime and admires the storytelling in many shows. Some favorites include Ousama Ranking, Mob Psycho 100, Asobi Asobase, Aggretsuko, and Kuroko’s Basketball. She also loves K-pop and video games.
