Daniel Kucan (October 16, 1971) is an interior designer (with co-hosts Michael Moloney and Tanya McQueen) on the Emmy Award-winning TV series Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. He made his debut appearance in the episode titled, "The Ginyard Family". Kucan was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. Prior to joining EM: HE, he began his education in design and carpentry at age seven. Kucan attended New York University, where he added a global perspective to his style and embraced the East Village rock and roll aesthetic of the downtown crowd.

After graduating from N.Y.U., Kucan moved back to California and became the lead designer for Hollywood's Mortise and Tenon. Here, he found a warm home among the trendy Hollywood elite, where he is able to happily construct and design furniture.

Combining a strong sense of tradition with an urban mentality, Kucan redefines the relationships between line, texture and spatial semblance. He doesn't often use the prosaic. He is also a prolific world traveller, and often gains inspiration from the most obscure sources. This global awareness has instilled in Kucan a tenacious commitment to building in recycled and renewable materials, often resulting in striking compositions of off-beat character.

Kucan loves Chinese martial arts, and he occasionally fights competitively, with often disastrous results. He is currently living with his girlfriend and his two dogs in a Spanish Revival home in Los Angeles, California.

Daniel Kucan is the brother of Joseph D. Kucan, who portrays the famous villain Kane of the Command & Conquer videogame series. Daniel appears alongside his brother in Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, as GDI officer Jake McNeil, brother of Commander Michael McNeil.
