Diane Kristensen
Diane Kristensen was born in Indiana in 1948. She studied industrial design at the University of Cincinnati and was involved with a number of anti-war protests during the Vietnam War. Her dissatisfaction with American politics motivated her to pursue her graduate degree outside of the United States, and in 1971 she moved to the University of Waterloo. After marrying her husband, Diane decided to settle permanently in Canada. She pursued a career as a graphic designer and later worked as an educator, which took her around southern Ontario. She ultimately settled in London with her husband and two daughters, and received her Canadian citizenship in 2012.
