The name Adorna comes from Danielle’s Italian maiden name, Adornato, meaning “to beautify or enhance.” For Danielle, design is a family tradition spanning generations of tailors, artisans, and craftsmen. With over twenty-five years of industry experience, she continues that legacy through a practice dedicated to bridging the gap between architecture and interiors.

Her career began at established firms such as Wyant Architecture, Wallace, Roberts & Todd, and The Houses at Sagaponac, where she cultivated a multidisciplinary perspective and revere for the design process. These experiences now inform Adorna’s holistic and educational approach, of which protecting clients’ investments is at the heart. Known for her direct but diplomatic manner, Danielle is adept at streamlining and demystifying the design process by way of unearthing optimal utilization of spaces, identifying key opportunities, and leveraging knowledge and expertise of the trades. Her work spans high-end residences, historic renovations, adaptive reuse, hospitality, and commercial environments—each project carried out with utmost professionalism through collaboration, craftsmanship, and authenticity.
