As a pair of determined designers, Daniela and Moe first got to know each other working late nights in design studio during grad school— brewing that third pot of coffee, sharing tasty treats, and exchanging upbeat bops. Yet it wasn’t until a group outing where they were left alone on the dance floor, grooving to funky soul beats, when they knew they were meant to be together.
We will marry in San Francisco in August 2019 at a small ceremony with our parents. But we definitely want to celebrate this special event with all our friends and family. Whether flying in or driving in, we hope to dance the night away in beautiful LA!
