Mimi Malayan has practised landscape architecture in the San Francisco Bay Area for 20 years, focusing her professional career on urban parks, plazas, and playground design. Although retired, she continues to teach at the Academy of Art University. In 2002 Mimi discovered a box of papers by Diana Apcar, in her uncle’s apartment. This was the seed to uncovering her great-grandmother’s life story. A decade later, Mimi started researching Diana’s life and accomplishments. The result is The Stateless Diplomat.
