Danielle Weitzman Senior Designer
Danielle is passionate about architecture built with communities, not just for them, and which reflects the community’s cultural as well as educational priorities.”
Danielle is an Associate Designer with Fielding International. She graduated from the University of Michigan in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture and a minor in Urban Studies. She recently completed her Master of Architecture in 2022. Educational architecture was the focus of most of her studio projects, including her undergraduate and master’s thesis. Her thesis focused on designing play environments for students with learning disabilities. Previously, Danielle worked for the Community Development Advocates of Detroit and the City of Cleveland’s Community Development Office.
She is particularly passionate about architecture built with communities, not just for them, and which reflects the community’s cultural as well as educational priorities. The 21st-century educational model of design is particularly exciting to her because it empowers students, reflects evolving educational practices, and provides communities with the spaces and opportunities to learn and grow.
