Susan McDaniel

Fiber Fanatic

Discovering a passion for fiber, but loath to follow patterns, Susan learned instead to chart her own course. Making up her own rules is her key to creativity.

Susan McDaniel was influenced early on by her creative mother, Ruth McDaniel, and then got a jumpstart on her passion for fiber after meeting Karen Paust. After a giving up on patterns, she found creating something without direction really gave her the creative freedom to explore her own style of crafting. Susan is also a photo stylist and interior designer. In 2018, she was awarded the BEST OF for interior design in the York area by Susquehanna Style magazine. Susan and friends Karen Paust and JoAnne Schiavone have opened VENTURE, a shop/gallery in Royal Square at 128 East King Street here in York, PA.

Goyo Ortiz-Muñoz

Building the Border / Designing the City

Goyo Ortiz-Muñoz was born in a constant flux between San Diego, Tijuana, and Los Angeles. His work combines cultural references with what he learned from his more formal education in architecture and urban planning. He believes design should encourage communication as a method of civic engagement. He has worked on design projects dealing with issues relating to misunderstood and underappreciated cities and neighborhoods, and has focused on developing projects, events, and installations that highlight potential in overlooked environments. Landing in York, he sees many parallels with his place of origin concerning stereotypes, community engagement, and civic pride.

Goyo Ortiz-Muñoz is an architectural designer at Warehaus, raised in his formative years along the US-Mexico border. He studied architecture at Woodbury University and has a master’s degree in urban planning from UCLA. He has worked for community organizations and nonprofits and architecture design firms concentrating on housing and community engagement. He loves travel, food, eclectic music, and soccer.
