Diana Thompson, architectural and interior design editor at ArchitectureCourses.org.
Architectural & Interior Design Editor

Diana Thompson is an architectural and interior design editor for ArchitectureCourses.org. She works from renovation experience, not just showroom ideas: older homes, tight budgets, layout problems, finishes, and the decisions homeowners have to live with after the contractor leaves.

She is especially interested in homes that are improved slowly, with a mix of personal effort and professional help. Her editing focuses on what to keep, what to fix, and where design advice needs to be more honest about cost, mess, and real life.

Away from work, Diana spends time on her industrial-style balcony with her three cats. She also likes exploring old neighborhoods, cultural districts, and interesting streets within a few hours of home.

ArchitectureCourses.org uses structured author and reviewer profiles so readers can see who wrote, edited, or fact checked renovation guidance.
