Meet Jodie

Director of Design & Product Development

What does AAPI Heritage Month mean to you?

Celebrating Asian heritage.

How has your heritage shaped the person you are today?

I grew up spending 90% of my free time on reading Japanese comic books and training myself on how to draw. In addition, I try to participate/teach Art/performance art classes in my local community.

What brings you joy about your heritage and culture?

I never stopped reading comic books.

How has your heritage influenced your career accomplishments, and what achievement are you most proud of?

Technically, I landed every job I had in the past with my sketches because I didn’t have a lot of “people” skills to begin with (because I spent 90% of my time reading comic books).
