Dara’s creativity is ignited by Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, rainy days (even though those are very rare in Southern California) and a great cup of cappuccino. She currently resides in the Los Angeles area and takes full advantage of long walks on the beach and the synergy and culture of one of the world’s most international cities.
