About Author

I’m Jason Rodriguez. I consider myself a slightly jaded, somewhat pessimistic—but ultimately hopeful—tech worker.

I’m a marketing operations manager at GitHub and spend my time developing the systems and assets that enable us to communicate effectively with our customers, potential customers, and our wider community.

I publish The Better Email, a series of no-bullshit guides to email design and development—used by thousands of email professionals to create better HTML email marketing campaigns.

There’s a good chance you know me from my time at Litmus, where I taught people how to make better emails—typically through writing some wildly popular articles and ebooks and hosting more webinars, workshops, and conference talks than I can remember. For a few years there, I was responsible for producing and hosting Litmus Live—the industry-leading conference for email marketing professionals.

Before Litmus, I lived the agency life as an email and web designer. I’ve been in the industry for over a decade and have gained a thorough understanding and appreciation of the web and the technologies that power it. I’m an expert in HTML and CSS and a strong advocate for the open web, accessibility, and building inclusive communities online.

Along the way, I’ve written hundreds of thousands of words, including multiple self-published books and articles for industry publications like A List Apart and CSS-Tricks. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel around the world educating people about the web, email, and accessibility at conferences and workshops.

In my free time, I volunteer with the Livonia Democratic Club, where I currently serve on the Executive Board as the Digital Communications Coordinator.

I live in Michigan with my wife, two daughters, and a growing collection of musical instruments (mostly ukuleles and a few guitars).
