"Start talking to your neighbor...spend more time on the front porch or in downtown Rochester and see what's going on...if you're actually there and standing side-by-side with people, you'll learn a lot from them."
Dani is a multi-talented designer and licensed realtor, and is the foremost authority on universal design in Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes area. She presents seminars to contractors, builders, other designers and homeowners on how to design space so that it can be used by anyone, regardless of age, size or physical ability. She incorporates universal design principles in all her work and is an invaluable resource for those seeking information on how to adapt space to meet everyone's needs.
Dani's work has been published internationally. She has 20 years of experience providing a full range of design services to dozens of clients. She's also a gifted interior consultant and problem solver who helps her clients save time, money and stress and provides them with resources they can't get elsewhere. Known as a natural collaborator, Dani is active in local community groups as well as Design For a Difference, an industry organization that renovates spaces at local charities.
