Short Biography

Danielle Nicholas Bryk understands that home is where life happens...and life can be messy. Even as the mother of a rambling brood of kids and dogs, a career woman and a wife, she proves daily that it can all be done with style.Over the past 18 years, she has divided her time between nurturing her family and transforming multiple houses into chic, stylish, but always functional homes. Word spread quickly and in 2011 she got picked up by the W Network to star in her own show “Building Bryks.” Her brand and reputation as an interior artist are quickly becoming a household name. She has completed two seasons of A Bryk At A Time for the DIY Network and Bryk House for HGTV Canada.Much like her personality, Danielle’s designs are inspiring, intuitive and deeply soulful. She is influenced by her urban living in New York City and draws from the very best global cultures. She holds a deep respect for the timeless principals of classic architecture, while incorporating modern, clean lines into her works. There is beauty and elegance in simplicity and Danielle never tires of swimming upstream in pursuit of it. The use of natural materials and the application of the principals of minimalism allow Danielle to create spaces that embody warmth, and at the same time, efficiency. Danielle carefully considers the needs of her select clientele while designing spaces that are functional, but that embody her passion for a well-lived life. Her spaces inspire her clients to live the life of their dreams.Danielle’s love of renovating began at a very young age, as she watched her own mother single-handedly transform their family home.Danielle’s passion for providing the best home for her family, often on a limited budget, meant that she took it upon herself to learn the ins and outs of her trade from both a contractor and designer perspective. Today she is able to build a home from the foundation up. As a licensed contractor, she has knowledge and experience to offer her clients far beyond what the eye can see, but it is her insistence that life should be lived with quality and style that really sets her designs apart. Danielle has learned how to simplify rather than ever compromise on quality and style. For Danielle design is not simply about creating pretty rooms, it is about creating the space to live the life you want. Danielle has been able to buy and elegantly renovate many homes over the past 10 years, the idea of a beautiful life inspiring every step of the journey.
