Full Interior & Landscape Design, From Concept to Execution
Get a space that's beautiful, functional, and built around how you actually live — with clear direction at every step, from the first idea to the final render.
Hi! I'm Daniela Cantor, an architect and interior designer with over 5 years of professional experience leading design projects. I joined Upwork a year ago and have since worked 100% independently with clients across the United States, Europe, and Latin America, completing 12+ projects with a 100% Job Success Score.
My Interior & Landscape Design service is ideal for homeowners, business owners, and developers who want a complete design solution — from the initial concept through execution-ready plans — without having to manage multiple freelancers or guess how the final space will actually look and feel.
I specialize in residential, commercial, and landscape design that balances aesthetics, functionality, and strategy. My approach is structured, detail-driven, and focused on making sure every decision serves the way you'll actually use the space.
💬 What You Get
• Full concept development, from initial idea to final design
• Space planning and furniture/layout optimization
• Landscape & outdoor design: irrigation, retaining walls, water features, hardscaping, and planting design
• Material, color, and finish recommendations
• Photorealistic 3D renderings so you can see your project before it's built
• Execution-ready documentation to guide the build
Projects can start from a blank site, existing plans, photos, or an early concept you already have in mind.
🏡 This Service Is a Good Fit If You:
✔ Want a complete design, from concept to execution, handled by one person
✔ Need a residential, commercial, or landscape project designed from scratch
✔ Want to see your space through 3D visualization before committing
✔ Are unsure how to balance style, function, and budget
✔ Value clear communication and a designer who takes ownership of the process
✦ Why Work With Me?
I combine architectural precision with strong visual storytelling. I don't just hand over pretty renders — I lead the process end to end, making sure every space works as hard as it looks good, indoors and out.
My fully remote workflow allows smooth collaboration with clients around the world, with clear communication and reliable delivery every step of the way.

Developers hire me when they need visuals that actually move a project forward - not just something that looks good, but something that works in a pre-sales meeting, an HOA presentation, or a pitch to investors.
I specialize in landscape and exterior visualization with a background in landscape architecture, which means my renderings are grounded in real scale, materials, and buildability - not just artistic interpretation.
What clients come back for:
- Fast turnaround without sacrificing quality
- Flexibility as plans change mid-project
- Visuals that make it easy for buyers, boards, and partners to say yes
DELIVERABLES:
- 3D exterior and landscape renderings
- Concept site plans for large developments
- Photo-matched visuals for real sites
- HOA and pre-sales presentation-ready files
BEST FIT:
- Residential and mixed-use developers
- Pre-sales, HOA approvals, and investor presentations
- Projects where speed and accuracy both matter
I work with a small number of clients at a time to keep turnaround fast and communication direct. If you have a project coming up, message me with your timeline and I'll let you know if I can fit it in.
