Diana Castillo grew up in the colorful city of Havana and moved to Florida when she was very young. Having spent so much time surrounded by palm trees and beaches, Diana often jokes she’s a mermaid in disguise. She completed her studies at Ringling College of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration. She quickly went to work in everything from designing theme parks like Super Nintendo World-Japan and Orlando’s Volcano Bay, to toy design for Cocomelon and tourism illustrations for Airbnb. Her free time is spent going on adventures with her dog Guenevere and watching movies.
