Hello, it's a pleasure to finally meet you here! 😊

Dian is a video creator, producer, and content creator dedicated to documenting the precious shared aspects of human nature across diverse backgrounds. She believes that work rooted in humble listening and compassion can vividly showcase stories, whether in branded content or the documentary field.

From the moment she discovered the art of storytelling through video, Dian felt a profound joy. While editing, the sequencing of scenes and the combination of sound and visuals revealed how editing allows one to convey a unique worldview. The control over rhythm and other elements deepened her love for the entire video production process. She believed that through one’s editing, you can see how they perceive the world.

While pursuing a B.F.A. in Art Video at Syracuse University, Dian had the opportunity to dive deep into the world of visual storytelling. With a passion for media arts, she joined FADS, a student-run Syracuse fashion agency, as the Video Director. In this role, she shot and edited videos for monthly shoots, promotional materials for the semi-annual FADS fashion show featuring over 70 looks, which attracted approximately 300 attendees. This experience sharpened Dian’s teamwork and videography skills. Additionally, during her time at FADS, she closely observed the production process—from job coordination and personnel management to the collaboration of multiple departments in creating the final video. One of the most valuable aspects of this experience was applying her expertise in video storytelling to fashion content creation.

After graduating, Dian joined the Urban Video Project—one of the few ongoing public projection programs in the U.S.—to help local and international artists showcase their video and film work on the façade of the Everson Museum. She assisted artists by creating promotional posters and videos for community and screening nights. Additionally, her primary focus was on producing documentary videos that shared the stories behind each piece with the public. This role allowed her to understand the importance of providing a platform to showcase unseen talents and voices.

While Dian is skilled in several creative disciplines, including photography, painting, ceramics, and screen printing, her primary focus remains on creating videos that celebrate diverse cultures. She often asks herself how to ensure that audiences worldwide feel connected, discovering beauty they may have overlooked or relating to stories not just while watching a video but through experiencing a narrative.
