Danielle Katz
Senior Associate
Danielle’s design ethos is rooted in clarity and simplicity, allowing her to craft thoughtfully curated user experiences across a range of project types. She is particularly interested in how architecture influences the human experience, leading her to prioritize the pedestrian scale and explore how proportion translates through the built environment at multiple levels. With a strong focus on hospitality and restaurant design, Danielle has developed a keen understanding of how spatial flow, materiality, and atmosphere contribute to a guest’s overall experience. She approaches each project with a deep appreciation for the nuances of service, operations, and branding, ensuring that the architecture supports both functionality and storytelling. Her portfolio includes a variety of dining environments, from intimate boutique eateries to large-scale restaurant concepts, each designed to enhance engagement, efficiency, and ambiance. Beyond hospitality, Danielle concentrates on mixed-use developments that foster sustainable growth. She believes in creating vibrant, walkable districts where restaurants and social spaces serve as key anchors for community interaction. By integrating hospitality design principles into her broader architectural work, she contributes to dynamic, people-centric environments that blend retail, dining, and entertainment seamlessly.
