A licensed architect who cut his chops working at such firms as Olson Kundig and the Miller Hull Partnership, Daniel and his wife Alaina founded Notion Workshop in 2018. Daniel’s background is woodworking and architecture. He apprenticed in a millwork shop at the age of 16. By 20 he had his own shop, making cabinets, windows, custom doors and furniture for high end residential and commercial projects. He later went on to study architecture at University of Idaho where he received his M.Arch and was the AIA Henry Adams recipient. While at university he also taught architectural rendering and Revit at the graduate level and honed his own rendering skills. For his thesis he fully modeled and rendered a 3D animation of his project which was nominated by CGArchitect for the student film award.

When he’s not working on the latest project, Daniel is off at the river doing ‘Lunar Orbits’ and ‘Phonics Monkeys’ in his kayak. If you don’t know what those maneuvers are, neither did we. Daniel is apparently as good at doing crazy moves in a kayak as he is at making a rendered cedar soffit look like you could press your thumbnail right into it.
