About Us
SAID & DONE was founded in 1998 by Dana Ashrawi.
Dana (rhymes with bandana) spent a lot of time writing as a child, but when it came time to choose a major in college, she chose the teaching path, and graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education with a concentration on science curriculum and instruction. She enjoyed a rewarding career serving public elementary school students in the greater Houston area, and also achieved an M. Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction, again with a focus on science. During her teaching career, she led workshops on effective science instruction, and completed successful grant applications.
She left the classroom to become a professional writer and launched SAID & DONE. Projects that Dana has headed include managing a roadmap of communications deliverables for a major IT firm, compiling customer testimonials for a software firm, researching and analyzing client competitive advantages, developing Podcast scripts for a sales audience, writing oil and gas industry technical specifications and standards documents, copywriting for various small business clients, publicity work, presentation development and technical delivery services, marketing collateral design, marketing image and branding consultation, and some pro bono publicity, communications, and marketing work for schools and related organizations.
Dana runs a virtual company with trusted associates who partner in areas of expertise as needed.
Dana values environmental awareness. One way that SAID & DONE works to protect the environment is by implementing totally electronic document reviews where possible.
Dana values diversity. She would like to establish a marketing and technical communications career mentoring program for non-traditional high school and college students, and is interested in providing work for persons with disabilities who would be ideally placed working virtually from their homes.
Dana seeks to maintain a primary focus on customer satisfaction with the speed, competitiveness, and quality of services performed by SAID & DONE.
The company tagline conveys the spirit of this focus:
"Need something said? Done!"
