DONNA JONES
My philosophy is to always say ‘yes’ first, then figure it out later.
One thing that’s striking about Donna Jones: she has a wide range of skills that mix creative with coordination, which makes her fit in perfectly at J.Schmid.
From her hometown Vancouver to Los Angeles, and finally, Kansas City, Donna’s picked up an impressive array of experience ranging from commercial development, to accounting to video production.
Her experience as a producer and production supervisor for numerous commercials and short films has been invaluable to adapting to the workflow here, where she manages multiple accounts. When she’s not at J.Schmid, you can find her changing lives through the medium of film – she and her husband co-founded Gold Room Films, a production company that creates powerfully moving documentary films with a social conscience.
