Diana M. Jonason

Owner & Design Principal

Diana graduated from Endicott College in Beverly MA, holds a bachelor’s Degree of Science in Interior Design and is certified with her NCIDQ Interior Design License. She spent some time living in Florence Italy studying at the SACI International School of Interior Design, where she attended design trade shows such as Expo Milano Worldwide and traveled to many inspiring areas of Europe including Paris & London.

Prior to graduation, Diana had the opportunity to work at The SLAM Collaborative in Glastonbury CT, Partner's By Design in Fairfield, CT and Siemasko & Verbridge in Beverly, MA, gaining invaluable insight from uniquely diverse design firms.

Diana started her career as a designer at Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, working on the Westin brand design team creating global brand standards. She spent several years with Haverson Architecture & Design in Greenwich, CT, as the Co-Director of Interiors and collaborated on many luxury residential estates and spec homes ranging up to 45,000 sq ft homes, as well as numerous hospitality projects in NYC, including Junior’s Cheesecake & Spotlight Live in Times Square. For over 10 years Diana was the Senior Design Associate and Director of Procurement & Sourcing at C² Limited Design Associates in Fairfield, CT, where she focused on Private Golf & Yacht Clubs, Luxury Boutique Hotels & Resorts and high end vacation properties both locally and internationally managing each project from conceptualization to completion.

 
 

Diana currently lives in Fairfield County with her husband, two children and their beloved family dog. Pursuing her own Interior Design practice had been a life-long goal for Diana. After battling stage 3 breast cancer in 2016, Diana’s outlook on life changed significantly. Her experience shined a light for her on how short life can be and the need to make the best of each and every moment. With that perspective, Diana has been offering her Interior Design expertise to homeowners, architects and builders throughout Connecticut, New York and wherever her clients shall take her since 2007, when she established her own design firm. 

Diana has collaborated with many notable architects & builders on over 40+ residential and hospitality projects including Peter Cadoux Architects and HSL Builders, LLC, where they  partnered on numerous luxury lifestyle retreats in Westport, CT. Together they won Best Custom Designed Home by Connecticut Cottages & Gardens in 2023. 

 

Diana is the interior designer for Fenway Golf & Country Club, in Scarsdale, NY, where she collaborated with architects Christian Rae Studio, LLC, of Easton, CT and Wesley Stout Associates, of New Canaan. Together we reconstructed and designed the Outdoor Pool and Event Areas, including the first outdoor bar, member dining spaces and a large fire pit featuring ultra comfy lounge furnishings. Diana later renovated and furnished the Golf Pro Shop and the Tennis Pro Shop. 

Diana attends High Point Furniture Market HPMKT in High Point, NC, the epicenter of the industry both for the Spring & Fall markets, to ensure a fresh perspective and absorb the latest style spotters and trends in home furnishings and fashion. She participates in lectures and seminars for inspiration and insight to always stay on top of the industry’s new product and signature collection launches. Diana finds the time invaluable to network and continue her educational opportunities each year. Diana works with some of the most luxurious lifestyle exhibitors to create custom designs for her clientele.
