Danielle Pare Black and Tan Interior Designer and Co-founder

Danielle Paré

Co-Founder and Lead Designer

Spending over a decade in the fastest growing city in Latin America, Danielle has had the opportunity to work alongside the visionaries of Playa del Carmen and Tulum.

Recruited by the strongest developers in the region in 2013, she specialized in real estate sales for various developments across the Riviera Maya, until ultimately co-founding her own real estate agency in 2016.

Over the years, Danielle’s focus shifted to working alongside developers, architects and investors to bring projects and developments to life.

The creative aspect of working with architects sparked her passion and love for architectural and interior design.

Her love of beautiful spaces, design and beach lifestyle came together organically to cofound her first interior design studio in 2021, Selva & Sage Interior Design based in Tulum, Mexico.

After 3 years in business, she exited the successful venture leaving her previous business partner the Selva & Sage brand, to co-found, build and lead her new design studio Black & Tan.
