A California native from Santa Monica, Daniele Albright is a multidisciplinary artist and designer whose work, often characterized by a desire to bridge materiality and intangibility, is deeply influenced by Light and Space and other art and cultural movements she was surrounded by growing up in Los Angeles. Interested in collapsing the contradictions between form and formlessness, her art practice often focuses on the immaterial as the indeterminate and shifting space between perception and the material world. Approaching from another direction, her design work often focuses on solid, architecturally influenced forms, exploring their most essential elements to find resonance in simple but compelling geometries.

From 2014-2024 her design work was created under the name of her design company, Videre Licet, Latin for "to be able to see". The collection features sculptural design works that embody the idea of "conceptual glamour", bridging a wide range of California references from minimalist sculpture to Hollywood glamour to '70s experimentalism. The New York Times called the collection "daring, glamorous and a touch tongue-in-cheek" while the Wall Street Journal said it "exemplifies the push-me-pull-you tension between minimalism and materiality that defines luxury design." Starting in 2024, all existing and new design works are produced under her own name.

She received a BFA in Sculpture from Parsons School of Design in NYC and an MFA from CalArts. She also spent time in academia in the UC Irvine Critical Theory program, where she received an MA in Comparative Literature and an MA in Visual Studies. Her academic work focused on Jean Francois Lyotard’s groundbreaking exhibition Les immatériaux at the Pompidou Center in Paris in 1985, analyzing that massive, multi-disciplinary exhibition from the perspective of the conceptual framework he first developed in his 1971 dissertation Discours, Figure, which had not yet been translated into English.

In addition to her art and design work and time spent teaching in academia, she spent several years as a photographer for various publications, including the bestselling Gypset series of books published by Assouline. She is also consulting director for Twentieth since 2000, spearheading the contemporary design division that now defines the gallery.

An active environmentalist specializing in forest ecosystem restoration, she owns forest land in North America's most biodiverse river's watershed, where she lives part time and is actively working on an intensive forest, watershed, and wildlife habitat restoration project. She named her forest Tanager Forest after the Tanager bird that follows her around the property during his migratory season there.
