Welcome to Ok-Jo

Hello there! Thanks for dropping in to see me. I'm Jo and this is my online portfolio. Here you'll be able to see a selection of work which I have undertaken over the past 5 years. I've worked with clients such as Train to Gain, L'Oreal and Time Out, and been able to develop Soupa Creative Network- the online networking site for like-minded creatives.

If you're looking for a way to breathe new life into your business through rebranding, you might be interested to know that I work closely with copywriter Clare Kelly to ensure that you get your message across through not only pictures but words too! Contact me to find out more.

I am currently available for freelance design projects and am always keen to hear from people interested in collaborations or of any up coming projects that you'd like to discuss.

So why not send me an email?

NEW BUSINESS CARDS

I decided to take a look at my business cards and give them a make over, again. I really wanted them to make more of an impact so I used the new designs 'nice to meet you' and had them hand screen printed in fluorescent orange by Bob Eight Pop. I also decided to use an embossed card selected from the GF Smith colour plan set. Very pleased with the results. If you would like to see them in their full glory just email me and I will post one out to you.
