ABOUT DANIKA LEEKS:
Danika Leeks is the founder of Danika & Company, an independent contract furniture rep firm she launched in 2001 to deliver high‑quality design solutions with personalized attention. Representing ancillary furniture, acoustical lighting, wall and ceiling solutions, textiles, and demountable glass walls, Danika partners closely with the architectural and design community to create spaces people love to be in.
Her career in the contract furniture industry began in her 20s as a receptionist at a California furniture dealership, where she quickly discovered her passion for design, sales, and client relationships. After relocating to Texas in 1994, she gained experience at two dealerships and two rep firms before establishing her own. Guided by a “can‑do” attitude and deep commitment to her clients, Danika treats every customer the way she would want to be treated.
Family, relationships, trust, and connection are central to her life and work. In addition to running her firm, she is a certified yoga teacher and received her certification through the award‑winning Dallas Yoga Center. She brings the same care and presence to her yoga classes as she does to her design clients.
Danika’s personal life is filled with the things she loves most—being a mom, enjoying great food with family and friends, traveling, and practicing yoga. Future plans for Danika include finding her soulmate and traveling the world while teaching yoga.
