Meet Jewel

Jewel is a very talented musician and artist. She came to LIFEDesigns for help finding a job. During the time we’ve been working with her, in addition to employment services we’ve hosted a work experience for her, contracted her to paint a painting for our office lobby, hired her temporarily to assist with graphic designs for the Week of Chocolate event marketing, and hired her to play her cello at some of our events. Jewel is amazing. She has so much to offer to employers, friends, and the community. Jewel has worked with a few different employment consultants with us. She is currently working with our newest employment consultant Jennifer Jones. Jennifer has a background in art and graphic design. Her pairing with Jewel has been serendipitous. Jennifer is currently working with Jewel to help her develop her art portfolio and giving her ideas for new projects to work on which will enhance her portfolio. Jewel is very excited at the prospect of working with Jennifer and focusing on further developing her graphic design portfolio.

Jewel’s father really enjoys listening to her play music. When we asked Jewel to play background music at an event on her cello, she was very excited, and spent hours at home practicing and preparing for the event. We received so many compliments from guests at the first event, that we invited Jewel to play at our Donor Reception this month! She’s looking forward to it, and it’s a great opportunity for her to earn some extra cash while refining her skills and presenting herself publicly as a professional musician. We’re also planning on her playing her keyboard at the Art of Chocolate February 22, 2020 featuring jazz numbers during the social hour before dinner.

Jewel is currently seeking employment. She is looking for part-time, full-time, temporary, or contract based work either as a graphic designer, painter, or musician. If you’re interested in hiring Jewel for a party, contracting some graphic design or drawing/painting artwork out, or interviewing her for a position, please contact jljones@lifedesignsinc.org.
