About

jason schrode headshot

I’m Jason.

Based in Denver, CO, I’ve gained 10 years of experience working at multiple companies across a variety of industries. My career has led me to work at enterprise corporations, advertising agencies, startup companies, and work as a freelancer with many different clients.

As an interactive designer, developer, and tech ops specialist, I’m constantly searching to discover new ways of fusing the unbreakable tenants of design with an ever-changing landscape of technology.

Music inspires me. Keyboards keep me busy. Television and film stir my appetite for magic.
