Daniel is originally from, and currently lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan with his wife and family. He attended Ball State University’s College of Architecture and Planning, in Muncie, Indiana, where, with a focus on sustainable design, alternative building methods, he received a master’s degree in architecture. During his time in school and working with a local carpenter deconstructing old homes Daniel fell in love with the immense potential hidden beneath the decay of the old dilapidated structures they were taking down. While tinkering with and trying to find new uses for these materials he discovered a passion for furniture-making. With this passion for design and working with these materials, re.dwell was born.
