Dana Novello

My background blends creative direction with interior-focused hospitality design, and I’d love to bring that perspective into residential work. I also have strong project management experience and a deep sourcing background, which help me keep projects organized, efficient, and thoughtfully executed from start to finish.

I’m a creative operations and design professional with over a decade of experience managing complex, design-driven projects across hospitality and luxury environments. My work spans project management, FF&E and material sourcing, vendor coordination, and the development of custom-designed pieces. I love bringing aesthetic vision to life while keeping budgets, timelines, and logistics running smoothly. I’ve led creative operations for notable New York hospitality groups, overseeing sourcing, installations, and cross-team coordination, and supporting spatial design through moodboards, material palettes, and guest-facing product curation.

My culinary education shaped my understanding of how people move through space, how environments support experience, and how function and aesthetics work together; core principles I now apply to hospitality and residential design projects.
