Nice to meet you!

Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Daniela. I believe very strongly in being a good person, and that everything will fall into place from that. I approach my work from this perspective. My clients are like family, and I treat them as such. Interior design just “clicks” for me, as an innate sense I cannot control when walking into any space. It’s a blessing to be able to *feel* how to improve any given room. Here’s more about my background:

A native valley girl, I attended the University of Southern California for undergraduate studies in International Relations. Turning to my lifelong passion of interior design, I enrolled at UCLA’s Interior Architecture master’s program, and started designing for residential clients right away. My strength is in residential design, working closely with clients and contractors to ensure perfect execution of the design.

A first generation American, I am a native speaker of Spanish and Hebrew. I’ve also picked up a good amount of French through marriage. I’ve only ever known a world of converging cultures. I pride myself in fusing different styles, adding global touches, and ensuring each space is practical and livable for its end user. Through first-hand experience, I love advising clients on interior choices best suited for pets, small children, and clumsy adults. Sometimes, function wins over form!

Above all, I’m passionate about helping my clients’ individual identities shine through their homes. Every piece should tell a story, and nobody should live in a catalog. I love sourcing those perfect pieces and finishing touches to turn a house into a home.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me (quite literally) juggling my 3 kids, rescue dog and cat while whipping up something for dinner. I love nutrient dense food that packs flavor. I create formal tablescapes for fun, making flower arrangements, and hand crafting pretty much anything. If you let me, I will blab to you about my recent obsession with Cricut and how I finally have a hobby. Between food, crafts, and decor, I’ll give you all the recommendations for hosting in your beautifully improved home.
