Bio
Jody Taylor
Betty possesses an under-appreciated but crucially important business skill – the ability to listen. To know how important that is, you have only to work with a designer who doesn’t . She takes the time to understand what was needed and wanted, and that’s why her co-workers turned to her again and again. I could take an idea to Betty, and she could draw what I envisioned. I can’t begin to describe the value of that in a business relationship – especially in the fast-paced website world.

Betty coordinated the publishing of web content for us at the Journal. She managed several developers, artists and interfaced with advertising and news to facilitate the production of our web site. She balanced our vast needs and limited resources to get things done.
