Dana Donofree

Founder & CEO, AnaOno

Diagnosed with breast cancer in her 20’s, Dana Donofree founded AnaOno out of her own necessity and desire for not only beautiful but comfortable lingerie that fit her surgically altered body. After a mastectomy with reconstruction traditional bras no longer fit, and Dana was certain there must be more than just sports bras and camisoles out there. With a degree in fashion design from Savannah College of Art and Design, and a quite successful fashion industry career, she took her decade-plus of product experience and put it toward designing, launching, and building AnaOno, Intimates Designed Differently.
