Wintress founded The Writers For Hire in 2003 after freelancing for several years as a copywriter and editor.

She helps clients make their web presence both compelling and usable, and her attention to pixel-perfect detail, intuitive user-interface design and a deep understanding of web standards programming makes her a “triple-threat” designer.

Dannell has a BA in Digital Art, earned at Tyler School of Art, and a Masters in Art Education from Kutztown University. Currently teaching at Kutztown University, Dannell also designs for Rodale Press, Hearst Group, Forge3 Marketing, Rambo Plus and many local businesses.

When not designing, Dannell can be found hanging out with the adorable pit bull Syllis. She loves trying new restaurants and exotic foods, traveling, creating art, running and  camping with a good book.
