Celebrating Ashley Donatello’s 10-Year Pepperversary
Congratulations to Ashley Donatello on 10 incredible years at Eleven Peppers!
For a decade, Ashley Donatello has been a creative force, a trusted teammate, and one of the brightest UX minds at Eleven Peppers. From her early days on the Commercial Team to her evolution into a Senior UX Designer, Ashley has consistently elevated every project she touches. She blends artistry with strategy, empathy with innovation, and organization with effortless style. Whether she’s crafting intuitive user journeys, developing thoughtful design systems, or mentoring new teammates, Ashley brings pride, passion, and heart to her work.
To make it extra special, we used intel from the Peppers who know her best! For example, we learned that:
-
She is the go-to person for restaurant recommendations.
-
She’s always up for happy hour at Cushwa.
-
She knows exactly where that “random file” you’re looking for is on Box.
-
She cares about others, always inquiring about the well-being of others.
We also sent out a survey about Ashley, and this is some of the feedback we received:
-
“Ashley and I were hired around the same time, and as we are the same age, I have always felt a bond with her. I watched her grow as a designer, get married and become a mother. It has been a joy to watch these changes and I’m so happy for her 10-year anniversary.”
-
“Surviving and thriving through all the many phases of the Commercial Team! My favorite project we’ve collaborated on was Ascent. That project was a ton of work but Ashley rose to the challenge to develop thoughtful UX solutions for women entrepreneurs.”
-
“When Ashley met Tommy for the first time. She asked a funny question that I still laugh about to this day. Can’t forget about all the in-house moments with her too! There are too many!”
-
“I have so many fond memories of Ashley. When we first met 10+ years ago at AIGA “Ink and Pixels” at Stevenson University, her beautiful wedding, getting to meet her daughter for the first time… the list is endless.”
Ashley, your 10 years at Eleven Peppers have been defined by creativity, empathy, leadership, and an unwavering dedication to your craft. You’ve shaped experiences, elevated brands, supported teammates, and brought innovation to every corner of the Commercial Team. Here’s to the next chapter: more thoughtful UX, more meaningful projects, more travel adventures, and more moments that make you proud.
