Jewel Mastrodonato

Jewel creates designs and visual concepts that captivate, inspire, inform and wow. A good day for her involves collaboration and creative problem solving. A great day involves a large steamed latte delivered to her desk, with a reindeer pattern in the foam. Jewel has also earned a reputation here as Helper Extraordinaire. The list of helpees includes our staff, DS clients, agency visitors and, well, people in general. True confession: “Whenever I see people struggling to take selfies—or any kind of photo—I’m compelled to help. Under one condition: I take one with me in it, as well.” Whoa. So she’s even helpful to herself. (Is that so wrong?!) And did we mention animals? Yup, Jewel loves helping them, too. Nearly pursued a career in veterinary medicine. How did she come by her helper spirit? We know this much: Her mother read The Giving Tree to her and her siblings when they were little. Over and over. And Jewel was happy. And helpful.
