My name is Danielle Cuddy, and I was born in Kangwon-do, South Korea. I grew up in the beautiful Napa Valley, California, graduating from Napa High in 2013. After completing my bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a Certificate in Peace and Conflict Studies, I discovered my passion for design and pursued a master’s degree in interior architecture and design at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Currently, I am in the process of obtaining my second master’s degree in architecture from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. My architectural interests lie in sustainable and biophilic design, as well as historic preservation and the development of affordable housing solutions for all. I believe in the power of architecture to create spaces that are not only visually appealing but also contribute positively to the environment and society as a whole.
