- Daniela has written more than a million words and over a thousand guides and how-tos — but her biggest achievement is the '60s linoleum glue she once scraped off a scullery floor.
- With a background in accounting, she can balance books with her eyes closed, but her real passion lies in making spaces add up to the perfect home.
- Daniela started a small landscaping business pre-college, and her first project is still in place and flourishing.
Experience
Daniela is currently a writer and editor for House Digest, and she enjoys sharing her passion for homes, interiors, plants, and the creation of beautiful spaces. Her professional career began with certifications in accounting, but her heart found its true home among the blooms and blueprints. Her journey from crunching numbers to home improvement took root via a preoccupation with DIY projects and how spaces impact the way we live — a personal calling that fortunately overflowed into her writing career.
Education
Daniela studied accounting at Boston City Campus and Business College where she also completed a course in permaculture landscaping and design.
