ABOUT

Hi there! I’m Daniela…

… a designer, color expert, and your creative co-pilot.

I help people create joyful, lived-in spaces with colors that tell their story, not someone else’s. I bring a strong point of view, but the goal is always to shape something that feels right, together.

My work is rooted in collaboration and emotion. I don’t just tell you what color to use—I guide you through the process of uncovering what feels good, what feels right, and what feels like you. I want you to walk away not just with a palette you love, but with the tools and confidence to keep making bold decisions in your space long after our call ends.

Design can be vulnerable. It stirs up everything from perfectionism to decision fatigue. That’s why I care so much about making this process feel grounded, joyful, and supportive. Clients have called working with me “design therapy, ”and I take that as the highest compliment!

I believe in homes that feel inspired and secure, cherished and expressive. I believe in embracing the mess of too many ideas and turning them into something focused and meaningful. I believe your home should reflect your story, and that you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Let’s design something that feels like home.

So, why color?

MY APPROACH

Color has always been my favorite way to say something without having to explain it.

It’s less about finding the “perfect” shade, and more about tuning into how you want to feel—and using color to get you there. You can overthink it, or you can feel it. I’m here to help with the second one.

Before I was designing spaces, I was writing about them, covering color and decorating trends, home tours, and the quiet power of a well-styled corner. That lens still shapes how I work: I know how to ask the right questions, notice the details that matter, and translate the swirl of inspiration into something honest and deeply personal.

And that’s what my work is really about. It’s not just about bold palettes or clever pairings. It’s about helping you understand what you need from your space and translating that into something tangible.

Sometimes I think my work is just helping people come home to themselves. With better lighting, and the right colors to hold it.

  • When color doesn’t feel scary anymore.

    Working with Daniela was a dream! I have always lived in all-white spaces, and after our session, I was able to finally make decisions about how to add color to my home —even in the form of paint, which previously felt like a scary commitment. Daniela instilled confidence by synthesizing my ideas with a cohesive vision that I could bring to reality. It's amazing the amount of design and color information that lives inside Daniela's brain! I am so thankful to have her help.

  • From muted yellow to full-on sanctuary.

    We’d lived with a muted yellow from the previous homeowners for four years, and it was finally time for a change. We wanted color, but weren’t sure where to start. An accent wall? Multiple walls? All of them? Daniela gave us such thoughtful guidance, like a color fairy on our shoulder! At one point, I even said, “What would Daniela do?” before making my decision. Her confidence helped us trust the process, and now the room is our sanctuary—cozy, warm, bright. We’re in awe of it every day.

  • A space that feels as good as it looks.

    Our house 100% looks and feels as good as it does because of Daniela’s design approach. She’s a wealth of knowledge when it comes to color and sourcing, and she’s fantastic at visualizing the potential of a space, always offering ideas to make it look cool and feel good. While she’s full of fun, bold color suggestions, she’s also incredibly thoughtful about who she’s designing for, and always makes it feel true to you. We’re so grateful for all of her insight!

  • One call = major shift.

    Daniela found clever solutions to my design problems. Our consultation helped clear my cluttered mind and inspired me to see things differently while arranging existing furniture and purchasing new elements that fit the vibe and function of the space. I highly recommend booking a call if you are struggling to solve a design or color problem in your home!

  • Design that feels like being seen.

    Daniela is an incredibly talented designer, but what truly sets her apart is the way she makes you feel. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease, like I was in the hands of someone who genuinely got me. She brought warmth, clarity, and joy to the entire process, and I trusted her every step of the way. My home is more beautiful because of her, but so was the experience of creating it.

  • Color confidence, unlocked.

    Daniela is a color magician. Picking out paint colors is intimidating. It can feel like a big (and semi-permanent) decision, especially when you’re devoting time & resources into the special place that is your home. Her ability to provide recommendations that just work is unmatched. It felt like a weight lifted to have this guidance when you start off feeling lost staring at a paint fan.

  • From overwhelmed to inspired.

    My color consultation with Daniela took my project from overwhelming to genuinely fun. I was stuck trying to enhance the palette in my home, and her process helped me get out of my head and see the space in a completely new light. Color is such a specific art form, and it made a world of difference to have someone who truly knows their stuff guide me through it. I’m more confident in my paint decisions than I’ve ever been—and I truly couldn’t have gotten there without her help. Highly recommend booking a session. You won’t regret it!
