Say what you want about Gen Z, but we can all take note of how this generation owns who they are, knows what they want out of life, and makes certain they reach for their dreams leaving no stones unturned. Today’s guest, Ms. Dana Wiggins, embodies these characteristics while blazing new paths as a Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Seize the App; the Personal Travel Photographer. Boomers, Gen X, and yes even you Millennials listen in as Dana drops gems of wisdom of how a simple idea can lead to a life unimagined. Now let’s sync!
Dana Wiggins is the co-founder and CTO of Seize, which conveniently connects you to affordable quality photographers, enabling everyone to capture life well. Dana has years of experience as a Software Engineer, and she is passionate about using technology to solve everyday life problems.
Dana is currently working on bringing Seize to market in the DC metro area. She first had the idea for Seize in 2019 while exploring San Francisco during a summer internship. When she eventually worked up the courage to do solo exploration in the city, she realized the need for an easily accessible on-demand photography service. After working in big tech for merely 9-months post-graduation, Dana left to pursue her passion and work on Seize full time in 2021. Since then, Seize has generated thousands of dollars in revenue and has captured incredible life moments for hundreds of customers, including a Real Housewife of Potomac.
Dana is an alumna of the University of Maryland: College Park with a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering and a proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. When she's not coding for Seize, she can be found decorating cakes or investing in real estate.
