“The only thing professionally better than being blessed to lead Pixo for 20 years is being able to confidently hand Pixo over to competent, like-minded colleagues. ” — Lori Gold Patterson With that, Lori Gold Patterson, Pixo’s co-founder and CEO, announced to our team that she will be transitioning leadership at Pixo to directors Jason Berg and Melinda Miller. Melinda and Jason work closely with our clients from the very beginning to the very end of every major project so, while they have a lot to learn, they get our core business.
Data Visualizations While it’s common practice at Pixo to check color contrast for optimal readability, we don’t always prioritize comparing each color’s distinction from one another. But color distinction becomes a high priority when designing data visualizations, which rely on the variations between color to represent different categories of information. Designers might strive to make this color distinction clear for viewers who perceive colors in a similar way, yet this “one size fits all” approach doesn’t take into account all color vision experiences.

JIRA has made project life a lot easier in a lot of ways, but it has also introduced another set of issues focused on standardization. While all our project teams at Pixo use JIRA, that use varies in both good and bad ways. It’s great that JIRA allows us to individualize each project based on specific needs, but we also need consistent practices across the (literal) board in order to use the project-tracking tool more efficiently.
“I want to say it stemmed from me talking way too much about Doritos. ” It was Austin’s last day. Our beloved front-end intern was leaving for a summer at Tumblr, and we wanted to send him off with a bang.
