Danning Niu
Design Portfolio

Hello!

I am Danning Niu, a designer with an interest in adaptive-reuse and narrative design.

I design interior spaces with an integral approach. My process begins with understanding the existing structures and their contexts. Bridging historical thinking and modern sensibility, I discover meaningful narratives and let them unfold through nuanced and creative design.

I believe good spaces are balanced and mutilayered. I hope to continue creating work that is functional, beautiful, and brings people together.
