As the Chief of Design, Dana is the creative visionary behind every Nickelatti Real Estate project. With over 10 years of experience, she possesses the unique ability to "see" the potential in a home long before the first hammer is swung. Dana specializes in transforming awkward, underused spaces into beautiful, functional environments that people love to live in. For her, houses truly speak, and there is nothing more rewarding than bringing a forgotten property back to life.


Originally from Appleton, Dana moved to the Coulee Region in 2002 to attend UW–La Crosse and felt such a connection to the area that she never left. Outside of work, her world revolves around her faith, her family, and a lively home filled with four amazing kids and an ever-growing menagerie of a new dog, outdoor cats, bunnies, and chickens. When she finds a quiet moment, she enjoys gardening and getting lost in a good book.
