About Dayna

I’m Dayna Offutt, M.S., I am a Creative Director who collaborates with publishers and self-publishers. I have also worked with organizations big and small from printing, publishing, and education, to health and wellness.
Mentoring
Teaching entrepreneurs how to publish their businesses online excites me. I love helping clients create digital and physical footprints making them feel proud about their business. I enjoy showing entrepreneurs how to use social media as an accessory to their website.
Growing Up In Entrepreneurship
Being the daughter of an entrepreneur and business owner, I learned far more than I can share in this bio. My father became an entrepreneur after working as a city bus driver. He owned three cabs, two of which he’d lease giving other drivers an opportunity for work. He vowed to never work for anyone again, and he never did. Growing up with a business owner for a parent taught me tenacity, determination and focus.
