Diane Russo Cheng

Diane Russo Cheng (she/her) is originally from New Jersey. Diane takes inspiration from her roots - combining the foundation of her loud Italian American upbringing and her queer identity to tell stories that pull out the raw emotion from her characters – from anger and frustration to joy and ambition – and to translate those emotions into visceral and stunning imagery.

Diane’s has collaborated with brands like adidas, Spotify, and Nike, often focused on socially conscious projects, particularly highlighting women and the LGBTQ+ community infusing her unique style into commercial projects.

Diane’s work has been recognised with Vimeo staff picks, silver at 1.4, winner at Slamdance, screened at Berlin Commercial, Kinsale, Palm Springs and Clermont Ferrand.
