Studio converge is a practice that involves the interaction between various environmental design disciplines, builders and material suppliers, governing agencies and clients required in the design production of the built environment. The goal is to encourage and foster an integrated approach to design.

Daniel started Studio Converge Architecture to further reflect his philosophy on the production of the built environment. Prior to starting his own practice, Daniel spent 15 years at other professional practices in the San Francisco Bay Area and Chicago.
