About me

Hi, I’m Diane — the creator behind Ripple & Round Creative Studio.

For most of my adult life, I’ve lived what I’d call a healthy and fulfilling life. Like many women, I’ve experienced my share of challenges, but I’ve always tried to stay grounded, prioritize self-care, and nurture a sense of peace within my family and community.

As I reached my 50s, I began noticing shifts in my body, mind, and energy. At first, I wrote them off as stress, busyness, or simply part of getting older. But over time, I realized these changes were part of a deeper transition—and an invitation to slow down, listen, and evolve.

That awareness became a turning point. I started asking questions, connecting with other women, and exploring ways to live more intentionally. Through this journey, I rediscovered creativity as a form of healing—designing tools, journals, and prints that reflect calm, growth, and connection.

Ripple & Round was born from that space of transformation. The ripple represents the inspiration and creativity that flow outward, while the round symbolizes growth—how life smooths and shapes us, like stones softened by the sea.

My hope is that everything you find here—whether it’s a digital journal, printable planner, or calming design—helps you create small ripples of peace, clarity, and self-discovery in your own life.

If you’ve found your way here, welcome. You’re not alone on this journey. May this space remind you that growth can be gentle, creativity can be healing, and you can always come back to yourself.
