About me
I am a vibrant, self-motivated designer with an eye for detail. I enjoy surrounding myself with other design professionals, relishing the opportunity to share and stimulate each others’ creativity! I have been working in the design industry for more than 12 years .
Beginning my career as a Junior Designer, I gained solid experience within a variety of professional spheres and gradually advanced to become Senior Designer and Project Manager. At this level I worked closely with clients, printers and suppliers, and was responsible for building and maintaining good relationships with them.
I have experience working in a variety of industries including beauty & skincare, architecture, construction, international charity, healthcare, and IT. With a diverse mix of industries comes a diverse mix of projects, and I have experience in branding, print-based literature, leaflets, publications, packaging, websites, email newsletters, e-publications, mobile app visuals and exhibition design. I have also managed design projects from the concept stage through to final artwork for both print and digital output.
I have now progressed to Brand Design Manager at a skincare retail company. My responsibilities include in-house design system setup, supplier negotiation, brand control, packaging design, literature design, new range product concept/design, website redesign, E-commerce & online marketing support as well as face to face global partner support.
I am a strong multi-tasker and an enthusiastic team player who can work to tight deadlines and ensure that projects are delivered to the highest of my ability. I thrive in challenging environments and take pride in completing difficult tasks to an extremely high standard.

"I worked alongside Jo during my time at Salcura as Marketing & Ecommerce Manager, creating branding material, product packaging, customer communications and web & digital designs.
What sets Jo apart as a designer is her commercial-focus, her ability to see the bigger picture and the impact design has on the business as a whole. Jo works closely with every department to build an impactful brand, effective comms and powerful product packaging, as well as achieving economies of scale, cost reductions and streamlined operations.
I have not met a designer with higher quality standards and a sharper eye for detail than Jo, and her knowledge of print & packaging production and designing for the digital environment are both outstanding."
