About Us
| My Perspective Shift
Experiencing and witnessing life-altering loss brought me to a place where my perspective shifted. It’s defining moments like these when we remember the fragility of life and how everything can change in the blink of an eye. In the fall of 2017, in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, Do What Lasts was born out of my desire to live on purpose, fueling redemptive work and seeking the good of others (1 Cor. 10:24).
My professional career has lived at the intersection of strategic marketing, nonprofit leadership, and philanthropy. Do What Lasts is a collaboration of my professional experience and personal passion. It is my contribution as a branding and strategic marketing consultancy, an outworking of what I’ve learned in my career. It's also home to a small shop of hand-crafted goods that generously support organizations I've come to deeply respect and who are doing incredibly hard but redemptive work worldwide.
I hope the ideas, conversations, services, and hand-crafted goods offered here inspire you to live a more generous and impactful life. Thanks for stopping by. - Danny

| About Courtney
Project Manager
Courtney spent the first decade of her career managing the digital marketing efforts for a national non-profit organization. She also had the privilege of co-founding Yellow Leaf Marketing, a creative agency for cause-driven organizations in 2011, alongside Danny. In 2015, she became a mom and also went full-time with Yellow Leaf Marketing. Both of which were miracles in their own way. Her role at Yellow Leaf Marketing was specifically focused on managing the people and processes involved in seeing clients' projects from inception to launch. Her gift of organization, administration and her love of the written word have allowed her to effectively serve in unique ways as a freelancer. From managing a marketing project, a corporate event, a client’s content calendar to the Rohrdanz family household, she enjoys being able to create order, meaning and beauty through her work. A few of her favorite things are adventuring outside, preferably on an East Coast beach with her girls, sipping vanilla lattes, and Justin’s dark chocolate peanut butter cups…or let’s be honest really any dark chocolate.
