The built environment should not only complement the elements of nature but also take inspiration from its wonders.
This concept is the foundation of Cedar & Salt Interior Design. Whether it’s rugged coastlines, sublime mountain vistas or the salty sea breeze that carries the fresh scent of cedar, there is no shortage of inspiration in the Pacific Northwest. At Cedar & Salt we look to honour the principles of design and the functional requirements, while celebrating what’s uniquely west coast.
Founder & Interior Designer
Some say, dream big, set goals and take action!
This couldn’t be more accurate for Danielle’s pursuit of a career in interior design. Danielle’s entrepreneurial spirit took root during childhood, with her father having founded a commercial painting company and her mother owning a floral design business. This ensured that from a young age, Danielle established her passion for the world of creativity and design.
With a curiosity for the world, her plan was never to stay too close to home (Vancouver, B.C.) and at the age of 18, Danielle moved to São Paulo Brazil for the first time, deepening her passion for culture and art. What followed was travel throughout Europe, North and South America, and a six-month return to Brazil to study architecture at Belas Artes University, São Paulo. To credentialize her design skills, Danielle completed her Bachelor of Interior Design at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.
In 2018, Danielle set her sights on one of the world’s leading design centres and made the move across the pond to London, England. Notably, Danielle led the design on the Microsoft office headquarters project in Paddington and curated artwork and décor for the Watch House Soho residential development on Berwick Street.
Danielle is always looking for an opportunity to bring her technical expertise and innovative perspective to life. Never afraid of a challenge and ready for the unexpected, Danielle’s experience and intuitive design approach are maintained while addressing the functional requirements of a space. A high level of detail-orientation and commercial awareness ensures the design process is completed to a first-class standard. Danielle prides herself, not only, on her adaptability to change but by generating creative solutions in an ever-evolving global landscape.
The Cedar & Salt Mascot
Furry friends are welcomed!
Blue, is a rescue from the SPCA. She was named ‘Blue’ for her resemblance to the famous grumpy cats' sad face. However, after a few days of being rescued, she perked right up and could now be referred to as Blue for her brilliant blue eyes. She is incredibly sweet, lives for treats and likes to explore the outdoors. We can’t get enough of her pink nose and peach ears here at cedar & salt. You may see her from time to time on our social media, as she’s too cute to handle.
