Danielle ‐ Marketing & Tradeshow Coordinator

My name is Danielle, and I’m the Marketing & Tradeshow Coordinator.

I’m originally from Wisconsin, where I attended UW-Stout and met my now-husband. I earned my bachelor’s degree in graphic design and interactive media with copious amounts of caffeine and the strongest determination. I fell in love with graphic design thanks to wine labels! I was always fascinated by how they could tell a story of what the bottle contained simply by the label (and how to tell the cheap stuff from the good stuff). I also had the opportunity to take a wine and food pairing class for 5 weeks in Spain!

Outside of work, I love to cook and bake – my husband and I have developed quite the competition to see who’s the better chef! We moved to Minnesota in May of 2020 – not the best time to explore our new home thanks to Covid, but it’s certainly grown on us. In whatever free time I can find, I love to paint and read while enjoying a nice glass of wine. In the fall and winter months, you can find us cheering on the Packers (we haven’t completely conformed to MN-living).

Something Surprising: I was a sponsored snowboarder when I was 18, prior to an injury. Fast forward some years, and I still venture to Trollhaugen when I have the chance!

Favorite Award: My favorite award is the Halifax Ruby Award because of its intricacy from every angle. The combination of red and optical crystal is simply stunning to me! It also reminds me of collecting red glassware and dishware with my grandmother when I was young.
