Designer. Producer. Strategist. Dame.
Sarah De Donato is the founder and creative director of Dame Studios. With over a decade of experience in branding, creative development, and operations, she’s helped Broadway stars, indie filmmakers, arts organizations, and production teams bring their stories to life—on stage, on screen, and across every touchpoint in between.
When she’s not working on a project, Sarah is doing “research.” And by “research,” she means watching more film and TV than any one person reasonably should. She plans her year around Broadway premieres and can be found most days giving her neighbours a free (and deeply unwanted) performance of Death Becomes Her.
