President & Founder

Danya Chandler began in the industry at the age of 19, working her way up through the ranks, from receptionist to buyer to sales representative in the components distribution field, before deciding to branch out on her own. She has always had a passion for serving customers and giving them a better product for a better price. With this vision in mind, she formed Connective Design, Inc. as a woman-owned small business in 1991 with a phone, a desk and an investment from an engineer. Originally a distributor of electrical components, it was Danya’s goal to one day to develop a niche market for the reverse engineering of sole source and obsolete components. Today, CDI offers a full range of production from the product design to reverse engineering, prototype…all the way through aftermarket support.
