20

Danielle EngebretsonThis month, in recognition of our site’s opening, we’ve combined December Advent with a fun “Get to Know Our Designers” event. Each day, you’ve gotten a chance to learn about one of the amazing members of our Design Team.

It’s the final day of our December Advent Series — Day Sixteen — and today you get an extra special surprise! We’d like to announce our newest resident designer at The Digital Press… Danielle Engebretson! She’s got a playful, vintage-y design style that we know you will come to love, and her products are now available exclusively here at The Digital Press!

 

5 FUN FACTS

  1. I have been a dental hygienist for 14 years and I am currently the lead hygienist in my practice! I work 30 hours a week caring for my patients and I love my “day” job.
  2. My husband, who is my soul’s one true mate, is 17 years my senior. I have 2 beautiful children, 3 lovely stepchildren, and one grandson – and might be the youngest living grandma! Ha!
  3. I was an incredible gymnast from age 4-18 and won many state titles and have a collection of 30-50 medals in storage somewhere, and I have been blessed to have been given a daughter who is 11 and shares the same natural gymnastics ability! I am having so much fun watching her make her dreams come true, praying she has it in her to do college gymnastics! Time will tell. I also was a high school gymnastics coach for 4 years and coached younger ages throughout the years.
  4. My Kolbe index number is 7436: 7-fact finder (I eat up facts, need to research and find the history of most things before I move forward, my Apple devices and google are my best friends eva!), 4-follow through (I have to push myself in the follow through department of life, lists help), 3-quick start (this is the opposite of fact finder, and quick starts don’t need much information to get going on something. Though its funny while I am a total fact finder, I typically can gather my facts quickly and then get started, I keep it balanced), 6-implementer (once I have my facts, I am a pretty solid implementer). Kolbe Index is a measure of one’s internal nature, and I think it is pretty cool that this little indices is spot on to who I am.
  5. I am a total TV, music, and movie addict. Awards season is my favorite time of year! (yep I research all the movies, TV shows and trending music out there, have to have my facts straight). Sunday of award shows is Red Carpet Sunday in our house; it drives my husband batty.

5 FAVORITE THINGS

  1. I love makeup – Urban Decay is my current obsession, and Sephora and Ulta are my best friends!
  2. I can’t live without books; I devour books and lack sleep because of this! Colleen Hoover is my favorite author.
  3. Breaking Bad is my favorite “finished” show on TV. The Walking Dead is my favorite “current” show on TV. My favorite show to binge watch on Netflix is “Orange is the New Black.”
  4. I love chewy Gobstoppers (they are nearly impossible to find).
  5. My favorite quote is, “What a slut time is, she screws everybody.” ~John Green, The Fault in our Stars

    Nice getting to know you, Danielle. Wow – you work full-time, love to read, watch movies & TV … plus have a husband & young children. I’m wondering when you find time to design? You are amazing! My daughter also participated in gymnastics (not quite as good as you), but she went on to coach for her high school team a couple of years. & my 3-year old granddaughter is beginning gymnastics… so I love your Zero Gravity kit — its so cute!
