It is that time of year again… time for the annual family Christmas cards and Santa’s “little elves” have been a part of our cards for 25 years.

As most people are out furiously shopping for just the perfect gift every year, I am behind the computer stressing over the family Christmas card and wondering if it will be a hit. Every year is an adventure and somehow… every year, my kids are willing participants.

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some people call me Diane, Deanna, or even Liana sometimes), and I am an Artist Ventures Lead at Bored Panda. In my role, I work closely with artists and creators from all over the world, helping bring their work to a wider audience and highlighting the incredible things people create. A big part of what I do is connecting talented artists with the platform and making sure their projects, stories, and visuals get the recognition they deserve. Outside of work, you can usually find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, going to concerts, and spending time with my cats (heavy on that one, because I’m definitely a cat mom).
