Danni Penska

Danni Penska is a proud Jefferson alumna but also studied at Moore College of Art, FIT and the American University of Rome. Danni began her career in design at Anthropologie while in college and spent several years there. She has over 20 years of experience in the fashion design industry, most recently as the Senior Fashion Design Manager at Lilly Pulitzer. While she has worked at the biggest, brightest resort company for almost two decades, her favorite color remains black. Her expertise lies in photoshoots, brand identity, and seasonal concept direction. She has also had the pleasure of conducting lecture series, critiques, and portfolio reviews on Jefferson’s campus and surrounding universities. Now, having shifted her career to teaching, she is excited to return to where it all began and help students find their own path forward in fashion. She lives in Blue Bell, PA with her husband, four children and dog. She loves traveling and shopping around the world, was married in Paris, France — and only drinks Diet Coke and coffee.
