Danielle is the in-house designer at Grandfather Homes, bringing over 25 years of residential design experience and a lifelong passion for creating spaces that are both beautiful and livable. Originally from Chicago, she moved to Charlotte in 2017 and quickly fell in love with the city’s charm and easygoing comfort. 

Danielle earned a B.A. in Art History and Italian from Loyola University and spent time studying at their campus in Rome. She later earned an Associate’s Degree in Interior Design and became a Certified Master Kitchen and Bath Designer (CMKBD) through the National Kitchen and Bath Association.

When she’s not designing, Danielle enjoys practicing yoga and spending time with her husband, Kirk, and their three children, listening to live music, camping, hiking, and watching scary movies.
