Pornographic films
Devon's first foray into the mainstream adult film industry came in 1998, when she appeared in the Jules Jordan film New Breed. She was the Penthouse Pet of the Month in January 2001. She worked for Vivid Entertainment for three years (1998–2001). Her first release for Vivid was Country Comfort. After her Vivid contract, she signed with Digital Playground.

In 2004, Devon appeared in the first WMV-HD DVD porn movie ever made, Island Fever 3, filmed on Tahiti and Bora Bora. In 2005, she co-starred in the adult film Pirates. By January 2006, she had signed with Ecstasy Mobile. In March 2006, she signed with Black Kat Productions, which never produced any films with her.

In 2006, Devon formed her own production company. In October 2006, she signed a contract with Shane's World to appear in films and direct film scenes for the company. She made her directorial debut for Shane's World in April 2007 with Devon Does Baja. She says she is personally most proud of Virtual Sex with Devon (2001), saying she spent more time filming it than most other titles in which she appeared.

In 2010, she was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame.
