Fun Fact Speaker Bio:

Diane Whiddon is a web designer, brand strategist, and speaker who blends creativity with clarity to help mission-driven entrepreneurs thrive online. With over 18 years of experience in digital design, Diane is the founder of Swayrise Creative, where she teaches creatives not only how to build beautiful, high-converting websites — but how to protect their time, energy, and sanity in the process. Her expertise spans web strategy, content development, and AI-powered branding tools, empowering purpose-led businesses to scale with confidence.

A sought-after speaker and content coach, Diane is known for delivering insights with humor, warmth, and a touch of rebellion. When she’s not mentoring designers or shaping personal brands, she’s indulging her love for military history — she’s toured eight submarines (yes, really), multiple battleships, and even an aircraft carrier.

She doesn’t just teach entrepreneurs how to stand out — she makes sure they mean something when they do.
