Jodie’s work at Fidelity Investments centers on bringing sophisticated investment tools to users with clarity and speed. Her work on the flagship mobile app includes: a redesigned Option Chain & Trade experience that combines user-friendly, data-driven design with powerful functionality; an updated Equity Trade flow that helps investors stay confident and connected in every market moment; a net new Auto Invest capability that makes recurring investing available to customers at all stages of their investing journey; and a reusable Brokerage Quote that delivers a consistent approach to quote displays across the app.

In-person experiences can also provide rich context for design, whether the response is digital or physical in form. Museum Mobile offers a mobile-first strategy that extends the museum experience beyond its walls. Transbay Block 9 takes part in a mixed-use urban development project whose goal is to transform the area into a transit-friendly, high-density neighborhood. Contemporary Art Institute finds form through material exploration and beauty in contrasts. The act of making is again spotlighted in Making Models, which looks at physical models as a means for communicating design intent at various altitudes. Design’s central role in storytelling plays out in Knobs — an exercise in uncovering an identity system around found objects, and in In Motion — examples of enriched digital storytelling through animation.

Site
Transbay Block 9 is a 600,000 sq ft multi-use development in downtown San Francisco. Fougeron Architecture was commissioned to design the podium (levels 1-8), and SOM took on the tower (levels 1-24). The site model below shows the building’s location next to the highway offramp into downtown SF, and marks its place amongst other Transbay development projects.


Revit allows cross-functional partners to collaborate in a single builing model. This workflow was an important aspect of our day to day work on Transbay Block 9 because architects from Fougeron Architects and SOM, as well as civil, structural, and MEP engineers, could all access the latest building information from a single source. 
Responsibilities

(Slides 1-3) My part in the process was to help bring designs from 50% DD to 100% CD. My main responsibilities included plans, RCPs, interior elevations, and iterative studies of HVAC design in units. Work samples below from Fougeron Architecture in collaboration with SOM for Transbay Block 9.
