Diane Solvang-Angell is a graphic designer and illustrator based in Seattle. She has worked for many years as a freelance designer and illustrator, as an instruction of graphic design, and as a marketing communications manager with a Fortune 500 company.

Solvang-Angell was an art student in Seattle when she first encountered Fed Griffin, an artist, art teacher, and a practical philosopher who was conducting experiments into the application of logic to graphic design, with particular reference to the need of commercial designers to turn out projects on demand . . . whether or not their muse happened to be active that day.
