About me Dianna Deeney founded Quality during Design through her company Deeney Enterprises, LLC. Her mission is to bridge product designers to the world's quality initiatives and quality-minded people. She teaches product development engineers how to use quality and reliability methods early in design for risk, use, and technical aspects of a product. Engineers that use quality early and iteratively improve the design and the design process, and it helps them to be recognized as star performers. Her vision is a world of products that are easy to use, dependable, and safe – possible by strategically using Quality during Design for products others love, for less.
