Danielle Davies

Editor | Urban List Perth

Danielle is living her dream gig as Urban List’s Perth editor, melding her passion for all things local with a keen eye on trends that elevate city living. She’s the go-to-gal for what’s worth eating, drinking, doing, or obsessing over in the west. With a sharp editorial eye and an inbox overflowing with hot tips, she’s always ten steps ahead on what’s trending, whether that’s a hidden pasta bar in the burbs or a vibey new wine bar, and she’s spent years telling the stories that resonate. Equal parts word nerd and culture junkie, she’s built her career around storytelling that actually hits.

At Urban List, Danielle’s mission is to champion Perth’s best: uncovering the hottest new openings, spotlighting must-visit bars and eateries, curating experiential event guides, and uncovering those under-the-radar gems that make life in Perth rich and vibrant.

When she’s not writing, editing, or chasing down her next feature, you’ll find her sipping iced matcha at her favourite neighbourhood cafe, taste testing her way through Perth’s latest wine bars, or planning her next long lunch.

And this season, cricket’s returning in a seriously big way, as The Ashes test series returns to Perth for the first time since 2017. If that’s not a reason to don a KFC bucket, I don’t know what is.

Here’s Why The Next Big Thing In Hospitality Isn’t Food Or Drink, It’s Connection

Third spaces used to be built into our daily routines. Cafes, bars, restaurants, pubs, communal gathering grounds we’d seek out or step through on our daily journeys, offering points of intentional and incidental connection. Slowly, over the last decades, many of those spaces have been consumed by the infinite scroll, community-building handed over to algorithms. Connection is at our fingertips, literally. That phone that’s never too far from our grip is packed with apps, platforms, and scientifically derived algorithms, all designed to get those brain receptors firing and release some endorphins, pulling us into endless cycles of dopamine hit-seeking scrolls. We’ve gone all in, all the time, on living online.
