Hi, I’m Danielle!

Back in 2014, I had only one question I needed to ask myself, and that was “WHAT IF I DIED?”

That was the question I asked myself as I laid on the pavement waiting for the ambulance to arrive. I had just gotten hit by an SUV while crossing the street; my head was bleeding and my pelvis was broken in two places.

“What if I died?!” That was the question that was running through my head. “Would I have been satisfied with the life I was living?” The answer was no.

Since that day, I’ve dedicated myself to living an intentional life. I quit my corporate job in digital marketing, and now offer web design, copy-writing, and branding to help small business owners just like you be intentional and make an impact as well.


When I say I’ve been there, I mean I’ve been there.

I owned a yoga studio in Truro, NS from 2015 – 2019. It was part of how I gave back within my intentional life… Yoga helped me recover from the accident physically and emotionally, and I wanted to share the same healing with our community. My yoga studio focused on body positivity, inclusivity, and accessibility. My heart was full… but my pockets weren’t. I was burning the candle at both ends; trying to stay with my vision, but also trying to keep the doors open and profit in order to build my own life (you know, like actually have a savings account?).

After investing so much time, money, and energy into learning marketing, branding, design, and messaging, I fell in love with making an impact from behind the scenes. I eventually traded in my stretching sequences and yoga pants for brand strategies and well… still yoga pants!

I’ve been fortunate that I’ve naturally attracted a clientele of small business owners looking to do the same thing; spread their message and make the world a better place.

If you’re a business, brand, or individual who wants to build or rebuild their website, refine their messaging, share their story, define their brand, or simply get clarity on their idea and goals, I’m here to help.

The world needs more positive energy; let’s make the impact you’ve been placed here to do.

I’ll help you stand out with effective web design that grabs your ideal customer’s attention… letting you get back to focusing on the things that light you up (like the reasons you started your business in the first place!)

My Experience

I was so excited to build the website for POWer Planning; a daily planner that will help you live a more intentional life, live with heart and plan for your best year yet.
The founder, Colleen, really spoke to me when I heard her story and mission, and I knew I wanted to bring her vision to life.
The website is a visually-appealing, eCommerce website that exudes a calming, inspirational vibe. It tells the POWer Planning story and also allows customers to order their planner directly from the site.

✨ Have Talking Points ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When you begin to think about the tone you use on social media, it’s important to ask yourself “how do I talk to my customers in-person?” and “how do I educate my clients when I’m explaining things to them in-person?” This will help you develop your tone.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you sassy and fun, or are you professional and confident? All these details make an impact on your voice and can guide you when creating content.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Karen had originally contacted me at the start of the pandemic as she needed an online store to continue to sell her merchandise. Not only did I redesign her website, but I also imported all current inventory and all inventory coming in for the new season. We also changed her entire POS system over to Shopify, so her in-store POS/inventory system and online store talked cohesively to one another.
To this day, I continue to import all inventory into Shopify for Elegant Steps and make sure the website and POS system are functioning properly.
I have been blessed to work with so many amazing clients, and Elegant Steps is no different. Karen, her team, and her store is such a gem to our community, and I am fortunate to have her as a loyal client.

❔ What does it mean to develop your brand's voic ❔ What does it mean to develop your brand's voice on social media...❔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When posting on social media, it’s important to have a consistent tone. What I mean by that is, when someone comes into your store, or books an appointment with you, they get a certain feel for you: the way you speak and words you use, your personality, whether you’re straight-forward and professional, or whether you’re laid-back and casual, etc.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The goal is that your social media presence feels and sounds the same as your in-person communications.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
