Diane Klumb – Stationery Designer
Diane joined Custom Programs in November 2008 after taking time off from the sign business to be a stay at home mom and part-time dance and gymnastics teacher. Diane is a professional graphic designer with over 20 years of experience in the field. Beginning her career in the sign industry in 1987 she developed her skills and talents creating signs, banners, menu boards and logos for thousands of satisfied customers; so it wasn’t too much of a stretch to apply her design skills to the paper industry.
Diane’s official title is “designer” but takes care of everything from fulfilling sample orders to helping out in the production studio and styling photo shoots. You name it, Diane can do it! Luckily Diane thrives on juggling a wide variety of tasks and making sense out of the occasional chaos of our active studio.
She has designed many of Cherish Paperie’s wedding set collections and is great at monogram and logo ideas. Diane also does a lot of the invitation and program assembly. No one can tie 150 ribbons into perfect bows on a program that look exactly the same like Diane. Working with ribbon and rhinestones is one of her specialties.
She first got her creative inspiration from her mother and her love for making hand crafted gifts. Even as a young child she was always getting into Mom’s craft cupboard! Throughout her high school and college years Diane spent most of her time in the art room doing paper mache’, frosted mirror designs cut by hand and working with ceramics. In recent years she has had fun making quilts and knitting scarves for the ones she loves. She has also enjoyed an 8 year career in elite gymnastics and ballet and spent some time as a preschool dance teacher as well. She also has an eye for interior design and even practices on her own home.
Diane now lives in Seal Beach, CA and owns the very home she grew up in. She has also had the privilege of raising her beautiful daughter Kayla in the family home, who is now 19 years old and attending a local college. She also enjoys designing from her home office for Cherish Paperie and spending time with her mini-dachshund dog named Liberty. Diane is very excited to be a part of all the changes and new designs happening here at Cherish Paperie!
