Diana Ries Designs, Inc.

My sister’s Facebook account has been taken over in a way that should concern everyone.

Someone gained access and then added their own authenticator, effectively locking her out of her own account — even though she can prove her identity.

We went through every official recovery step with Facebook, provided verification, and were ultimately told they’ve “exhausted their ability to help.” That’s unacceptable for a platform where people’s identities, businesses, and memories live.

This isn’t just about one account — it’s about a system that allows bad actors to take control and leaves real users without meaningful support.

If anyone at Meta can actually help resolve this, we’re asking for real assistance.

And to everyone else — if you’re using Facebook, please double-check your security settings. What happened here is not obvious, and it’s not rare.

Honored to be featured in VoyageATL’s “Daily Inspiration” series.

It’s always interesting to reflect on the winding path — from boutique owner to freelancer, to building Diana Ries Designs, to sculpture, murals, and community work here in Atlanta. None of it was linear… all of it mattered.

Grateful for the people, risks, pivots, and yes — even the pasta years — that shaped this journey.

If you’re curious about the story behind the work, here’s the interview:

Today we’d like to introduce you to Diana Ries. Hi Diana, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself. I didn’t take a straight path to where I am today, and that’s shaped both my work and perspective. I’ve always lived at the intersection of creativity and problem-solving. Early on...

✨What a gift! After more than 15 years, I got to hug my dear friend Melanie Antos outside Mueller Lofts, where she was working on a film project with her company, Mellen Productions, providing location support services for film production. Our time together was so brief, but oh so special. 💫 Here’s to old friends, new projects, and the joy of reconnecting—even if just for a moment. 💖

Wine, laughter, and a walk through the glow of CIM’s Phoenix — nights like these remind me why I love this city (and these girlfriends). 💃🍸

Made Thai fish curry… but let’s be real, the star was Kris’s garlic loaf glow-up 🤩 (mozzarella + muffuletta = bread that deserves its own photoshoot 📸).

Troll sealed the deal with two bottles of wine 🍷🍷.
Best neighbors ever. ❤️

🎉 Big news! I had the honor of being interviewed by Shoutout Atlanta — where I got to share a bit about my creative journey, community work, and what drives me every day.

From art direction and sculpture to Castleberry Hill adventures and beyond, it was a joy to reflect on the work I love and the people who inspire me. 💫

Huge thanks to Shoutout Atlanta for the feature — and to everyone who’s been part of the ride so far. 🙏

We had the good fortune of connecting with Diana Ries...
