She worked as a designer at the Department of Ceramics and Glass at the Institute of Industrial Design in Warsaw, later as a designer at the Institute of Glass and Ceramics in Warsaw, as well as as as the artistic manager of the Artistic Handicraft Cooperative "Kanon" (Cepelia). Danuta Duszniak designed about sixty designs of functional ceramics, among which there are many dinner and breakfast services, vases, ashtrays, chocolate boxes. A significant part of her projects, repeatedly shown during domestic and foreign exhibitions, have gained the status of icons of Polish design. The artist's works include coffee services "Columbus" from 1956 and "Prometheus" and "Koko" from 1959, as well as the vase "Rock and Roll" from 1957. She also designed (partly in collaboration with other artists) numerous ceramic catering and hotel sets. Particularly noteworthy are extremely innovative, as for those times, ceramics and cutlery designs for patients with limited hand skills, which were created in the years 1967–1968.

In 1967 she was awarded the Silver Cross of Merit. In 2015, on the occasion of the 225th anniversary of its brand, Zakłady Porcelany ''Ćmielów'' honored it with the PorcelaNowe award for lifetime achievements in the field of functional ceramics design.
