danielle lasusa

architectural associate

Danielle is on a path to create things herself, which is how she ended up in the world of architecture. The way the profession combines her artistic talents and knack for numbers had always clicked for her long before she began her studies at the University of Illinois.

After a summer internship with OKW, Danielle is now a full-time associate in our studio. As a professional, she combines her background in Health and Wellbeing with her creative mind and user-centric approach to design to improve the built environment.

Outside of OKW, this lifelong Cubs fan enjoys playing and watching sports (namely college basketball) and hoping to return to her passion for creating original artwork with graphite.

If you could have one superpower: Teleportation!

Top city on your list of places you want to visit:  A small city outside Palermo called Ciminna in hopes of connecting with family that still lives there.
