We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Danielle Medlock a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Danielle , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s talk legacy – what sort of legacy do you hope to build?
Everything I do in life is to set an example for my children. My legacy is teaching them that you can truly achieve your dreams and that hardwork does go a long way. I have a chronic illness called Multiple Sclerosis. For so many years I allowed the illness to keep me from pursuing my dreams.
Danielle , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I provide joy and assurance. Yes, I am a event planner and designer but it goes beyond planning events or decorating. I take on the stress so the client does not have to. When you book with Dani & Co. Events LLC you get an experience. I started my business through Covid and I had no idea at the time why God wanted me to do this, but I decided to walk by faith anyway. The happiness, joy and relief I get from a client when I achieve their vision makes all the stress I take on irrelevant. The gratitude I see in a clients eyes is an overwhelming feeling that makes what I do worth it!
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
The goal is to create a lifelong memory for every client I have. In a world full of hate and tradegy I want people to remember me for the joy I bring to others. I am working towards owing my own venue to throw parties for economically disadvantaged and sick children.
Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?
Definitely word of mouth. When you provide someone with an amazing experience, they tell others about it. A lot of my business comes from client and vendor referrals.
