Meet Dana Bass
Dana M. Bass
ASID, NKBA, IDS, ART, NCIDQ, RID
With an intuitive approach, Dana Bass, NCIDQ, RID, creates spaces that are refined, playful, luxurious, and unexpected.
And she's just plain fun.
Dana is celebrated for her bold use of color, masterful mix of textures and patterns, and her keen ability to make a space feel instantly alive. At the heart of her namesake firm is a magnetic philosophy: DREAM IT. LOVE IT. LIVE IT.™
With two decades of experience, Dana brings more than style—she brings soul. Her superpower? Reading the room—literally. Dana tunes into her clients' needs and the architecture itself, forging a design dialogue that feels both intuitive and intentional. The result? Homes that are as livable as they are unforgettable.
Her career began in hospitality, where she designed
head-turning nightclubs, bars, and restaurants with unapologetic flair. It was in residential design that Dana found her groove—creating emotionally resonant homes and lifelong client relationships rooted in trust, vision, and a healthy dose of fun.
She lives for the hunt, the harmony, and the moment it all clicks—and nothing beats hearing, “Best experience ever.” Dana’s passions run deep: from modern art to vintage cars, yoga to architecture, and always, a dance party with a dirty martini in hand. Cheers to that.

OUR CLIENTS SAY THE KINDEST THINGS
Dana was a dream to work with. She is so personable, creative, and professional, as is her entire team. We needed help redesigning a smallish kitchen/utility area to make it more airy, beautiful, and functional. Dana immediately drew us in with her down-to-earth manner and her artistic sense. She listened to our needs and hopes, and the resulting design has exceeded our expectations. Every step of the way, she helped us feel confident and at ease in the design and implementation. Her expertise showed in how she was able to transform a closed in and barely functional area into one of beauty, light, and functionality beyond our imagination. She knew the best materials, the best solutions, and the best contractor to get our job done. The “journey” with Dana was as stress-free as such a project could be. We are so grateful to her and her team. We highly recommend her to anyone needing a “makeover”. If we every need help again, we won’t hesitate to call her!
