About Anchor & Joy

Hi, I’m Danielle.

I bring order to chaos and help the right people find each other. It’s been part of me since I was a teenager, and it’s still my favorite thing to do.

My story

From bringing order to chaos to building the Crew

After college, I dove into client success at a local home décor company that went on to expand globally and even caught the attention of Disney. In 2013 I joyfully welcomed motherhood, then jumped back in as an executive assistant and in operations and HR at a remote finance company.

At a small business of just three, I helped us grow to a team of 18, and every single person clicked. It taught me that the right match isn’t only about skills. It’s fit, timing and intuition.

That’s why I started Anchor & Joy, and why I built the Crew: so busy owners get help that truly fits, with someone in their corner the whole way.
