While Jody has not worked professionally to create gifts and gift baskets, she has lifelong experience creating and sourcing gifts for baskets and for unusual and personalized gifts for friends, family, work, weddings, baby showers, and non-profit events her entire life. Regrettably, she hasn’t always kept photos of her work, but the work demonstrated in this portfolio shows the scope and creativity of her designs and projects over many years.

Jody feels joy when her gifts make people smile, and frequently hears people say: “How did you know exactly what they wanted?” from event attendees. Ever-observant, Jody draws from her background in anthropology, humanities, education, and art to get to the heart of what makes the best gift for any situation.
