Discover Diana.

She has never been particularly good at staying in one lane.

Engineer. Musician. Sailor. Diver. Software nerd. And several things that never made it onto LinkedIn.

From Sea to Soul

A life in more than one register.

Music

Sound is another way of thinking.

Flute, brass, rehearsals, stages. Music is not a decorative hobby here; it is discipline, listening, timing and play.

Sea

Water keeps things honest.

Sailing instructor. Professional diving instructor. Maritime life existed long before it became a professional reference point. The horizon still wins.

People

Serious work can still have a pulse.

Former bartender, gastronomy kid, occasional cocktail maker. At 1KOMMA5°, sometimes the best place to meet the room is behind the bar.

Fieldcraft

Bee busy.

Scouting, amateur radio, beekeeping. Reality has weather, noise, living systems and consequences. PowerPoint doesn’t.

Art

Not everything needs a business case.

Photography, drawings, handwritten lines, vinyl, small private experiments. Some things are allowed to exist because they resonate.

Learning

Stay a beginner somewhere.

New instruments, languages, strange skills and the occasional oversized horn. Curiosity is a practice, not a brand attribute.

Mischief

Remain silly.

The world is serious enough. Intelligence without play becomes brittle; authority without humour becomes unbearable.

Quiet

There is also stillness.

Trees, rain, night walks, photographs nobody commissioned. A quieter register belongs to the same person.
