Daniel resided in the Berkshires of Massachusetts before attending the Pratt. He takes an interesting approach to fashion by infusing his love of science and nature and his love for fashion. The self-proclaimed adventurous designer thought he wanted to be a zoologist, but a love of art and design eventually took over and he now draws inspiration from nature to create innovative structures and creative textures in his work. Aside from that, the greatest fashion influences in Daniel's life have been the great couturiers of Paris. Daniel created a luxury-based line in the past although had to discontinue his business due to lack of capitol needed to run the company. In addition, Daniel has worked for Donna Karan and designed couture dresses for Melinda Eng and has also tapped the exciting theatrical world of design working as a costume designer for Sotu Productions and The Box.
