I'm Diana: 

With over 160 completed projects in the San Francisco Bay Area, I bring real-world experience as both a house flipper and the founder of a full-service design-build firm. At DG Design Group Builders, we specialize in creating spaces that blend modern design with the raw beauty of natural materials.

Our team is known for managing every stage of construction from the first sketches to the final walk-through, giving clients a streamlined, hands-on experience. In this course, I’m sharing the tools, strategies, and lessons I’ve learned from the field to help you manage and build smart, beautiful projects that stand out.

Excellence in Design
Integrity & Hard Work
Passion for Innovation

So, how did I get here?

The 9-5 grind was not for me, so I took a leap of faith, leaving my job to pursue my Real Estate Broker’s License. It wasn’t easy, but the journey to working for myself has been incredibly rewarding. Raised by immigrant parents who instilled in me a deep appreciation for our rich culture and the importance of maintaining high standards and integrity, I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur. Throughout my career, I’ve kept a close eye on the real estate market and interior design trends, fueling my passion for both industries. At the age of 33, I founded Vault Realty Group, a real estate brokerage focused on real estate investing that was later acquired by Century 21 Real Estate Alliance. Driven by my passion for design and construction having flipped and redeveloped over 85 houses in 7 years, I launched DG Design Group in 2019, dedicating the company to providing exceptional service and creating stunning living spaces for our valued clients.

I am incredibly grateful to be a published author and to have been recognized for my expertise in the real estate and design-build industries by The Wall Street Journal, BBC, Forbes, The Associated Press, HGTV, Homes & Gardens, USA Today, The Spruce, Architectural Digest, and many other publications.

"It’s refreshing to hear from an investor who has worn “all the hats”: loan officer, broker/agent, wholesaler, flipper."
