Since graduating, Jodie has primarily worked with Jaxbanded Theatre Company, designing two Scene and Heard shows in 2023, bringing one of them, 'Hyper', to Dublin Fringe the same year. This year, she had the chance to design her own script, 'Hate Fuck' as it was staged in the New Theatre, directed by Ois O'Donoghue.

She's interested in design and theatre that is collaborative, contemporary, women-led, and emphasises queer voices.
