Hi, I'm Jo...
... I do a lot of things
I design stuff.
I was doing it when I didn’t even know I was doing it. My background in teaching and working with people from various cultural backgrounds has shown me the importance of visual communication and interpersonal skills. Finding ways to take information and transform it so that it is clear and concise is how I design lesson plans. Now that I’ve completed the Graphic Design for Print and Web program at Humber College, I know what I’m doing when I do it. Here's. some of my work.
I take photos.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts, majoring in Photography. Check out some of my published or personal work to see how I view the world. It could be a nicely composed plate of food, or an abandoned hand-washing station. Things that make me go, “Ooooh.” (And sometimes, “Ewww.”) Click here for a full list of publications.
I travel.
In buses and trains mostly. My husband and I give ourselves challenges that involve going overland from point A to point B. We’ve spent over three years doing this in almost 60 countries. Why? Why not. Here is my photo blog of our last trip involving 4 oceans and zero planes.
I make stuff.
Like jewellery. I’ve been perfecting my necklaces made from old maps and the reams of handmade papers I’ve accumulated on my travels. Check out my Etsy shop! - I’m gonna be a billionaire.
