About

I’m Diana Velasquez, a senior book and editorial designer with 15+ years of experience crafting long-form publications—books, research reports, and magazines—for international organizations, government institutions, and media. I focus on editorial layouts, strong typography, and information design, building style-driven systems in InDesign that keep complex documents consistent and easy to use.

Across remote and in-house roles in Colombia (and recently with the Inter-American Development Bank), I’ve handled end-to-end pre-press and print-ready finalization: CMYK color management, fonts, bleeds, resolution, PDF/X output, preflight, packaging, and coordination with printers. I also create infographics, charts, maps, tables, and visual assets for institutional communication and events.
