Dayna Prepis is Vice President of Marketing at UpSpring, where she leads creative, strategy-driven marketing initiatives for clients across the design industry. A New Jersey native, Dayna studied communications at Ramapo College through a self-designed program focused on PR and advertising. After launching her career at a small startup agency, she evolved her skills through roles at Interior Design magazine, a boutique hospitality design firm, and an international flooring brand—experiences that gave her a 360-degree perspective on the interconnected worlds of design, architecture, and marketing.

At UpSpring, Dayna combines creative vision with strategic insight, generating bold ideas and guiding collaborative brainstorming sessions that unlock fresh perspectives. She thrives on the variety of possibilities in the design world, from grand architectural gestures to material specifications, and finds joy in helping clients tell their stories with clarity and impact. Passionate about supporting women in business, she’s proud to be part of a female-led firm that shares her values. Off the clock, Dayna is a proud mom, hockey fan, and loves a good kitchen dance party.
