The Journey
Danielle Kaplowitz is a Stamford native. She met Ramsey Mellette in 2004 while living in Los Angeles. Danielle was working as a professional actor/voice-over talent. She was a fan-favorite on the series, Community. Ramsey a graduate of USC Film School lived in the apartment downstairs. They became fast friends and began dating three years later. They married in 2011. They have two children, Jonah 9 and Maisie 7.
The couple moved to Stamford in January of 2021 to be closer to family. As they settled into their new lives, they realized that the best choice for their family would be to invest in themselves and their future by creating a business in which they could excel.
