Hi, I'm Dianna!

I’m the creative force behind Circle Skirt Central—and the heart behind a mission to bring beauty, meaning, and sustainability back into the way we dress.

I’m not just a designer; I’m a wife, a mother of two radiant daughters, and a lifelong creator inspired by the magic of movement and fabric. My girls remind me every day why I do what I do: to design clothing that tells a story—our story—while honoring the world we live in through thoughtful, sustainable practices.

My love with fashion began long before I ever set foot in a design school. At just five years old, I would sneak into my mother’s fabric stash and craft tiny Barbie clothes from her fabric scraps. My favorites were always the circle skirts—those twirling masterpieces that turned my dolls into elegant little stars. Even then, I knew clothing could create joy and transformation.

At fourteen, I decided I no longer wanted to wear what everyone else was wearing. My mother taught me how to use a sewing machine, and my creative spark ignited. My first skirt—stitched from three triangles and a drawstring waistband—was far from perfect, but it was mine. I wore it proudly for years, the beginning of a lifelong journey in self-expression through design.

My love for circle skirts truly bloomed after watching Dirty Dancing. The effortless grace of those flowing skirts captured my heart, and soon I was creating my own versions—layered chiffon pieces that swirled and danced with every step. I couldn’t stop. Each skirt was a new experiment, a new discovery of what beauty in motion could feel like.

That passion carried me to the Art Institute of Las Vegas, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design. My professional journey led me into the world of technical fashion design, creating detailed tech packs for brands across the industry. Yet, no matter where my career took me, I always came back to the circle skirt—the garment that started it all.

Today, through Circle Skirt Central, I’m sharing that lifelong love with you. Each skirt is designed to capture the timeless elegance of the past while being made for the women of today—versatile, joyful, and beautifully made to last.

My vision is bigger than a brand. I dream of building a make-on-demand microfactory, mastering the art of dance and lyra, and traveling the world to connect, create, and inspire.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I hope each piece you wear reminds you to twirl a little more, live a little brighter, and embrace the beauty of your own story.
