Following career in political fundraising, entrepreneur enters bright world of lampshades

Life’s too short for white lampshades. That’s Linda Daniel’s motto. And with her custom lampshade business, she’s setting out to convince the world of that motto, too.

After working in political fundraising in Washington, D.C., for 25 years, Daniel was burned out and decided it was time for something different. “I knew I wanted to do something creative,” she says. Since she’d always loved them, she decided to pursue creativity in the form of lampshades.
