Diana Mitchell

Diana's career began in the fashion industry, where she spent more than a decade working across design, product development and digital operations. This experience developed her ability to think creatively, work across disciplines, and bring ideas to life from concept through to delivery.

Alongside her professional career, Diana became increasingly involved with local community organisations and grassroots initiatives. Through this work, she developed a strong interest in community-led change and the role that participation plays in creating thriving places. This journey ultimately led her to Community Think, where she combines her creative background with practical problem-solving to support projects that strengthen communities across Aotearoa.

She finds inspiration in Aotearoa’s natural landscapes and the ways people connect with the places around them. She has a strong interest in sustainable living and in the small, everyday actions that contribute to healthier environments and more connected communities.
