The Person Behind It
Built by someone
who grew up
in this world.
I'm Dannie — raised in Michigan, now based in Houston, TX. I hold a B.A. in Media and Information from Michigan State University with minors in Entrepreneurship, Fiction Filmmaking, and Philosophy. My career has taken me through professional sports production, public television and radio marketing, and large-scale live production. I understand brand strategy, consumer psychology, conversion architecture, and how to build systems that produce measurable outcomes — not just deliverables.
What makes Amori different is the market knowledge underneath the strategy. I grew up in nail salons. My mom owns one. My aunts and uncles own them. I've been doing nails and managing salon operations for over 10 years. I understand the economics of this business — client lifetime value, rebooking friction, review velocity, how your Google ranking directly affects walk-in volume. I don't need to research your industry. I already know where the money is leaking.
That combination — professional marketing expertise layered over decade-deep industry knowledge — is why The Salon Growth System™ is built the way it is. Every funnel, every retention sequence, every SEO decision is informed by both disciplines. Most agencies bring one. We bring both.
