If you don't go when you want to go, when you do go you'll find you've gone.— Anthony Hopkins as Burt Munro in The World's Fastest Indian

About Jordan

I’m a nerd on a personal mission to help those who are helping others. With over a decade of experience across the web, nonprofit, and public education landscapes, I’ve collaborated with more than 100 nonprofit organizations. I’ve served eight years as an elected school board member overseeing a budget of more than $55 million, and I’ve led nonprofit boards. That governance experience shapes how we plan, budget, and build with our clients.

Natalie was born with a pen in her hand. No, not really, that’d be weird. But she has been a writer for a very long time. As a web content and social media expert, Natalie brings over 10 years of professional storytelling experience as a stage artist to all of her digital marketing clients. Natalie knows that every client has a story just waiting to be told and she will work hard to find it, even if it’s hiding under old web design or a cluttered Instagram grid.

She can’t wait to meet you and help you tell YOUR story.

About Charlize

About Jazz

Meet Jazz, our UI/UX Designer, who loves creating designs that look good, feel intuitive, and make everyone’s experience a little better.

    Winnie Cooper

    Self Care Manager

    Winnie joined the DM family about a year ago when she was rescued from living in the woods nearby a local coffee shop. It's a good thing our web content manager Natalie was working from the shop that day or she may have never met her! She is great at reminding our team to take self-care breaks throughout the day, and sneak in some cuddles.

    Charlie

    Treat Manager

    Charlie has been with DM (via Natalie) since 2020 and boy is she happy about it. Now that Charlie gets to work from home, she gets to supervise and makes sure that treats are handed out in a generous fashion. But don't be fooled, Charlie is a hard worker and supports team DM in getting our work done in a timely fashion to ensure a (rather strictly enforced) 8pm bedtime.
