At just 18 years old, Danielle launched her first brand in 2005, quickly capturing the attention of top luxury retailers including Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale’s. Her bold creativity and entrepreneurial spirit soon led to collaborations with some of the world’s most iconic partners such as Disney, Warner Brothers, Sanrio, and Nintendo, bringing beloved characters to life through imaginative, collectible designs.

With the launch of DiFerdinando, Danielle continues her journey of storytelling through design; expanding beyond handbags into a full lifestyle world of jewelry, hair accessories, and beyond. Each piece is crafted to spark joy, individuality, and wonder, celebrating the art of self-expression in every detail.

Rooted in the heart of New York City, Danielle dedicates her time outside the studio to giving back - serving on the Ronald McDonald New York House Board Of Associates and partnering with the National Retail Federation Foundation to inspire and mentor the next generation of retail talent.
