Danielle Miller grew up in a steel mill town in the Laurel Highlands of western Pennsylvania. Being surrounded by beautiful rolling hills juxtaposed by bridges, railroads and industry greatly affected her design sensibility. Clean, simple geometric forms are the building blocks of her designs, which are inspired by architecture, machines, toys and nature.
Her work consists of jewelry with kinetic elements designed to attract and engage the attention of the wearer. This kinetic aspect of her work creates an intimate and unique relationship between jewelry and wearer. Each piece of her jewelry, by definition, is not only an object of personal adornment but also an object of personal interaction and recreation.
