Hello There!

Danielle Simmons is a content and social media strategist based out of sunny San Diego. Her love of writing started at a young age and only grew as she got older. After a few years in influencer marketing, she pivoted her career to traditional marketing.

She started a successful blog, A Crafty Spoonful, a little over 10 years ago and grew a following on social media while learning the ropes of influencer and affiliate marketing. After 5 years, she started working on the other side of the field at an influencer marketing agency. Today she is a content and social media manager for a digital marketing company where she is responsible for the development and execution of content strategy.

Everyone has a story to tell. Let Danielle tell yours.
