Marvin Daniel
Marvin Daniel is a native of Richmond, Virginia and a graduate of the Richmond Public Schools and Washington and Lee University. His interest in design trends was firmly established while living in Europe as a student in the late 1960's. It was during this time that he became impressed with the combination of excellent design and functionality and how the two could come together in practical living spaces such as kitchens and baths.
Most of Marvin's adult life has been spent in the kitchen business. A unique aspect of his background is that it includes fifteen years of manufacturing kitchen and bath cabinets and work surfaces. He has specialized in the retail kitchen and bath business for the past seven years.
He is an avid cook who appreciates what components go together to create an outstanding culinary environment. His designs are noted for understanding "how the kitchen cooks" as much as "how the kitchen looks."
Marvin has designed kitchens throughout the mid-Atlantic states and in the Carolinas. He frequently travels both in this country and abroad to stay abreast of the very latest in kitchen design and function.
