NEW KDHamptons Lifestyle Diary: Sag Harbor Social Media Guru Danielle Gingerich

This week KDHamptons catches up with stunning Sag Harbor resident and Social Media Specialist, Danielle Gingerich, who is also the daughter of famed East End artist Jim Gingerich. Danielle shares, “I was born in NYC, but I have lived in the Hamptons since I was five years old. During the past four years, I attended NYU and graduated at the top of my class in June.

We live in a very special place.”
