_all work_ Currently a Doctoral Student in Planning at the University of Michigan, Danielle is an academic at heart. Trained as an architect with extensive experience in interior architecture, her research interests also include urban design and planning, seeking to bridge these myriad scales of design. Her recent work with the Design Response Team at PSU studies issues surrounding design interventions in humanitarian aid situations. Her personal research has received numerous accolades and focuses on dynamic landscapes and its subsequent effects on architecture. This work had taken her from The Netherlands to Venice to Bangladesh.
_some play_ Currently, Danielle is organizing her thoughts in a little magazine called Petite Revue , which she hopes to launch this summer. Other interests include watercolor painting, hiking, endless shots of coffee, and taking care of her Red Rex rabbit Mr.B.
