Danielle Barnes

With nearly two decades of experience, Danielle brings a thoughtful, approachable touch to high-end design. She works closely with clients to reimagine the potential in their homes, creating bright, airy spaces that feature traditionally classic designs balanced with a touch of modern inspiration. Her designs are timeless and inviting, reflecting a vision built to last.

Danielle's passion for interior design began early, and she followed a unique academic strategy earning her Bachelor of Science in the field. This background provides her with a distinct perspective on the design process, blending her aesthetic intuition with a practical eye for form and functionality.

Danielle’s work focuses on high-end residential renovations and custom builds, with a particular expertise in creating kitchens that truly become the heart of the home. Her clean, elevated style transforms spaces to reflect her clients' unique lifestyles and personalities. Inspired by her travels to New England, Europe, and in more recent years the Southwest United States, Danielle brings fresh ideas to each bespoke project.

Outside of work, Danielle leads a vibrant and active life. Her dog Zoey is a daily presence at the studio, while her two cats complete her home. She and her husband Matthew enjoy camping and off-road adventures together, and Danielle is passionate about painting, pottery, and mountain biking. As a tennis coach and a dedicated member of the Fairport Merchants Association board, she is deeply involved in her local community.
