Nice to meet you! I’m Jen Dodaro, a freelance art director based in Los Angeles, California.

I studied transmedia design at Art Center College of Design and have been working independently for a little over 10 years.

(I get asked this a lot so I’ll just add here: I’ve had a total of two full-time roles. Ever.

My very first was at a typical ad agency straight out of art school. I stayed for a little over a year until I landed my dream role designing album art at another small design studio in LA.

5 months and a few really fun projects later, the studio closed down. They literally told us (all 5 or so employees) the day of, one by one, at the end of the work day. and didn’t let us say bye to each other as the owner wanted to personally let each of us know himself. I’ve been working for myself ever since)

I’m also completely obsessed with dogs. More specifically, in my down time, I rescue dogs from euthanasia lists at high-kill shelters across Southern California.

I’m in the process of starting a foster-based rescue as soon as my 501c3 application goes through. Once that gets going, I’m going to need all the help I can get! (fosters, donations, etc, etc)

Please keep checking back! I’ll update this section as soon as it’s ready to go.
