Lyme disease, achy joints, pain, panic attacks, lack of mobility, isolation – that was the start of a journey of healing. Meeting her body where it is, upgrading her mindset, lifestyle, and forgiving. Elevating her body, mind, and spirit to live a life of believing everything is possible. This is the story of Di.

“I can open myself to the wonders of the world ... I am ready to live life.”

Prior to starting her career in Design, Dio was a senior auditor for a big four accounting firm where she led audit teams and had constant interaction with clients. As time went by, Dio decided that the time had come to follow her passion, so she embarked on her adventure at Portfolio Center. There she gained her knowledge in Design with a minor in Web Design.

After graduation, she landed a job at The Partnership where she produced work for billion-dollar companies like Coca-Cola and NCR. During this time she also attended a Masters Workshop in Italy with the amazing Louise Fili, Steven Heller, and Lita Talarico! As she accepted freelance work, it started to take most of her time and Dio Jensen Design was born!

After a very unconventional switch in careers, Dio is living her dream. Not only does she get to work on a design, she also gets to teach it: Dio is a design instructor at Miami Ad School. Dio is also the co-president of the AIGA Atlanta Chapter, and a co-founder of AIGA Unidos.
