About the Teacher:

Daniela Magee, interior designer of NY Institute of Art and Design, changed her Career in 2016 from an IT Consultant to a Motel Manager and moved from Germany to the USA after she and her husband bought the Sandy Point Motel in 2012. She has enjoyed sewing, quilting and decoration for over 20 years as a hobby, and since she joined the hospitality business she has put that passion + skill to work furnishing the motel rooms with handmade quilts and stocking the gift shop.
