Danee Liz Paredes
(born September 2, 1985) A Filipina designer raised in Saudi Arabia.

The eldest daughter of Elizabeth Cayabo Paredes (nurse) and Demetrio Paje Torres (sales engineer), her parents brought to the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia after only a month of being born. Her mother worked as a nurse in the Federal Aviation Administraion for Saudi Arabian Airlines, which benefits covered accomodation and schooling. She went to SAIS-North Campus School for five years until her parents moved her to a Filipino school.

Her experience in the Philippine School was less than pleasant as the other children did not quite understand her not being fluent in the native language. She spent until 1997 in school and then moved back to the Philippines. After a year of high school in Manila, she moved back to Jeddah. She graduated in 2001.

She was accepted into the prestigious University of the Philippines and took majors under Organizational Communication. She earned a degree in 2005. On her junior year, Paredes joined a search for a TV show and landed a spot on Starstruck, a reality show on a local network. She declined the offer because of the conflict between academics and shooting schedules. She is also a member of the UP Sigma Delta Phi Sorority.

After graduation Paredes took to learning clothing designs. In 2006, one of the dresses she made was featured in Metro Him Magazine. Her name is registered as a brand and at present she is preparing for the Spring '08 collection.

She works part-time as a personal shopper and a DJ.
