About 

Daniella Noronha is a committed architectural designer with aspirations to use architecture as a channel for social change. She hopes to use her experience in architecture to help create equitable urban conditions for neighborhoods that have been neglected because she believes architecture is not just an art, but a way in which we connect design to the people we are creating for. She works mainly through computer modelling and graphic design, but she has ample experience in both hand-modelling and sketching.
