Buchman graduated from Brown University and was a President's Fellow at the Rhode Island School of Design before earning an Advance Degree in Fashion at London's St. Martin's School of Art. After graduating, Dana Buchman became a creative head for Ellen Tracy.

In 1982, Dana Buchman was approached by American designer and executive Liz Claiborne and joined the corporation with a design job in knitwear. After five years with Liz Claiborne, Buchman started her eponymous bridge collection under the Liz Claiborne corporation.

Dana Buchman has been a member of the Council of Fashion Designers America since 1991. She married her husband Tom Farber, a New York State judge, in 1985. They have two daughters Charlotte and Annie Rose. In 2006, Buchman co-authored "A Special Education: One Family's Journey Through the Maze of Learning Disabilities."

Buchman donated the profits from the book to the National Center for Learning Disabilities.
