Senior Stylist
Hey Hey! I am Dana, Salt's senior Stylist and I've been with the company 3 years. I grew up in central Pennsylvania before heading south to Coastal Carolina University, where I earned a degree in Business Management. My career in fashion took me through several cities, each adding something new to my story.
Charleston stole my heart with its Southern charm, but it’s Atlantic Highlands that’s home now, where I live with my husband and our two boys, Jack and Dylan. It’s love that brought me to Monmouth County—proving that sometimes, life is really all about the clichés.
I left my job in New York City when I got pregnant and spent a few years at home—loved it, but honestly, I missed working. Who would've thought? I eased back into the workforce at Salt’s retail shop, and now I’m proud to be the Senior Stylist at Salt Design.
As Senior Stylist, my job is to find those perfect pieces that bring our designer's vision to life. It’s the difference between wearing an outfit and styling an outfit—some pieces just take things from good to amazing. My job is to hunt down those magic pieces that complete the look.
But let’s be real—it’s not all glam. There’s a lot of schlepping. A lot. My car is basically a Mary Poppins bag: overstuffed but always has what’s needed. I’ve mastered the art of packing—and yes, I’m officially better at it than my husband—only to unpack and do it all over again.
Still, on install days, when everything comes together and I see the client’s reaction? It’s pure magic. Totally worth every packed (and unpacked) box!
Outside of work, life revolves around family—and soccer fields. With two energetic boys, there's never a dull moment (or much downtime), so weekends are filled with games, get-togethers with family, and finding ways to keep moving.
Like Courtney mentioned before, I’m all about my early morning workouts—they help me feel organized (ha!). When it’s time to unwind, I’m a sucker for Bravo, reality TV, anything that's mindless really, and a good girl’s night out with great food and wine.
The beach is my happy place—our family’s favorite spot to relax, recharge, and soak up the good vibes. Really, anything by the water feels like a little sanctuary and is just good for the soul.
I’m truly honored to work alongside such an amazing, talented, and strong group of women at Salt Design. As the saying goes, 'When you're good at something, you'll tell everyone. When you're great at something, they'll tell you.' And let me tell you, these women are nothing short of great.
