I'm an established UI / UX Designer with a passion for creating seamless and delightful user experiences. I combine a strong blend of creative design skills with user-centered design thinking to ensure the end-to-end experience is intuitive and visually appealing. I'm always up for a challenge and love pushing the boundaries to deliver products and UX that makes a difference.
As a designer in the digital world, I work collaboratively with a variety of teams across timezones including Project Management, Business Analytics, Content and editorial, IT Development, Branding, External design/development agencies and my fellow design team members. I prioritize user-centric and impactful solutions that align with business goals.
I thrive on being part of a passionate team. Ultimately, a positive team culture is critical for success. I believe where there is trust, transparency, efficient communication – and fun! - a team can create great products for their customers and users.
I have a diverse creative background that requires the knowledge of a variety of tools and processes. My skillset spans across visual design, interaction design, user experience, print, illustration, branding, and traditional art creation.

"In my role as an information architect, I find that Jodi really embraces the key principles of good user experience and interaction design. She can always be counted on to propose and explain design enhancements that not only facilitate a simple, better flowing, and more consistent user experience but are also contemporary and beautifully designed.
When development is required, Jodi’s technical design specifications are clearly documented and well-illustrated representing desktop, tablet, and mobile experiences.
On a personal level, I find Jodi to be thoughtful, candid, collaborative and able to handle changing priorities and requirements with ease. And best of all, she has a great sense of humor, which helps with all those constantly changing priorities!"

Mckinley Elementary School
As a parent and active member of my local community, I've volunteered for many events in the SF Bay Area. Every year in April, Mckinley Elementary School hosts an annual fundraiser called Dogfest. For several years I was the lead graphic designer for the annual T-shirt plus the print and web related materials. The California state senator Scott Weiner shares his favorite SF t-shirt in this SFgate article.
