Daniela Salgado
I moved to the United States alone at the age of 17, leaving behind my family, culture, and everything familiar in pursuit of a better future not only for myself, but for my loved ones. When I arrived in Charleston, I immediately fell in love with the city's unique charm and felt an overwhelming sense of belonging. While earning my Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art from the College of Charleston, I launched my business in 2020. Since then, Charleston has become not only my greatest source of inspiration, but also the place where my family and I work and grow together. For the past four years, we have been present at the Charleston City Market nearly every day, connecting with people from around the world. These experiences have been deeply inspiring and have shaped the work we do. We also participate in markets across the city, with a mission to create meaningful change through art. Our goal is to make a positive impact on others’ lives, fueled by the passion and love we pour into our work. I am currently documenting a “365 days” journey in my life as both an artist and a businesswoman. Charleston has transformed my life and it will always be home.
