I met Dara Huang at an event in London last year when I first moved to town. Dara is one of those people who lights up the room she walks into. 

As a Taiwanese-American architect and designer, renowned for her innovative contributions to contemporary architecture, Dara was born in Florida to Taiwanese immigrants, where she pursued a master's degree in architecture from Harvard University.  

In 2013, Dara founded Design Haus Liberty, an international architecture and design practice based in London, with additional offices in Hong Kong. The firm offers a wide range of design services across residential, commercial, hospitality, and retail sectors, establishing itself as a tastemaker and game-changer in the industry. On a personal note, Dara was previously engaged to British property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, with whom she shares a son, Christopher Woolf Mapelli Mozzi, affectionately known as "Wolfie." Despite their separation, they continue to co-parent amicably, with Wolfie also being the stepson of Princess Beatrice.
