Dana Popoff’s Education
-
Cornell University
Bachelor of Science , Architecture, Interior design in College of Human Ecology
Architecture and Interior Design at the College of Human Ecology at Cornell has led me to many opportunities with designing and building my own homes, investment properties and producing shelter programming.
The "Good Eat's" home kitchen was my design and although we no longer shoot in the original home the environment has been duplicated in hundreds of shows and continues to be the co-star with Alton Brown in the hit series "Good Eat's".
