I have learned over the years that the best things come to those who aren’t expecting it, and this is certainly the case! Danajill Designs began as an idea in my basement while creating a present for one of my girlfriend’s babies.  For the party, I wasn’t sure what to purchase as a present because honestly, these days, we mommies have everything we need!!  Coincidently, I was talking to another girlfriend about my dilemma, and she said, “Why don’t you make her custom-made onesies as a gift”.  I thought to myself, sure, that would be cute! I went to the store to gather the supplies and I created a few onesies.  A few days later my girlfriend said, “I loved those onesies, where did you get them?”.  I mentioned that I made them, and she said with excitement in her voice, “Oh you could sell those!” Well, that is all I needed to hear. 

I was on my way to creating Danajill Designs with my daughter Maya, and all of my friend’s babies in mind.  I started slow by purchasing products and making them one-by-one.  I got out there in the mommy community and signed myself up for local events and functions.  I networked, and met several wonderful “mompreneurs”.  I cautiously shared my idea and passion with others.  With the amazing support of my husband, family and friends, and not to mention long working hours into the wee hours of the morning, we have developed a name for ourselves, and we are moving forward with new and amazing ventures each and every day.
