Let’s Collaborate!

Design, storytelling and creative strategy for brands doing things a little differently.

Whether you're building a wellness business, an adventure brand, a creative studio or something entirely your own, there's more to your brand than how it looks. It's how you communicate, connect and bring all the different parts of your business together.

That's where I come in.

Think of me as your creative sidekick: someone who gets to know your business, joins the dots between your ideas and helps bring the bigger picture to life. From design and copy to content and creative strategy, I'll support you with the things that need doing now, while keeping an eye on where you're heading next.

Working together over time means less starting from scratch and more building on what we've already created. You'll have a creative partner who understands your business, shares your enthusiasm for what you're building and can help you move things forward.

I work with a maximum of two ongoing clients at a time, so this is a genuinely collaborative partnership, not a one-size-fits-all package.

Sound like the kind of support you're looking for?

How we’ll work…

Think of this as an ongoing creative partnership, shaped around your business, your priorities and whatever you're working towards.

Here’s what this looks like:

  • 8 hours of support each week (based on a four-week month), flexibly shared across design, copy and creative strategy.

  • Shared monthly goals, with room to adapt as priorities shift and new ideas emerge.

  • Easy, ongoing communication via email and WhatsApp voice notes.

  • 50% off additional Design Days* when you need a extra block of dedicated creative time.

Investment: £1,250 per month

We'll start with a one-month trial to find our feet, establish priorities and lay the foundations for working together. The intention is to continue on a six-month agreement, reviewed every six months, with invoices paid monthly.

This works best for established or growing wellness, creative and adventure-based businesses that have plenty in the works and would benefit from an extra pair of creative hands (and a strategic brain) along the way.

I only take on two ongoing clients at a time, so we'll have the space to build a genuinely collaborative relationship and get to know your business properly over the long term.

*What is a ‘Design Day’? Think of it as a creative partnership in turbo mode. One day and total focus for design and copy tasks big or small >>> read more about Design Days here.

Why work with me?

Hi, I’m Jo, quietly unconventional, multi-passionate, and building a life far from ordinary. On the surface, I’m your average introvert-next-door, but in reality? I’m a late-diagnosed ADHDer, multi-biz owner of over a decade, massive chocolate lover and currently living nomadically from my self-built camper van.

As well as currently offering design and copy services, I single handedly launched and ran all aspects of my health food business Boost Your Bowl (formally Wholeplus) from 2013 until 2022. I have also been a blogger and food photographer since 2011, writing for my own and others platforms.

So I know what it's like to be in your shoes, when you wear all the hats and know you need to delegate the tasks that just aren’t your sweet spot, but in a way that is simple, clear and affordable.

I’ve been featured in and collaborated with:

Feedback from clients:

“Jo has completed a number of design projects for me and also assisted with changes at short notice. She effectively communicated throughout the project and the results are always wonderful to open. Her style is professional, vibrant and fresh. Additionally, to find a creative person who also has the technical knowledge is a rare find. The designs that Jo creates serve to make my company's marketing strategies professional and ultimately successful." - Olivia Beardsmore - Empowerment Event Organiser

“We have loved collaborating with Jo, she is excellent at understanding what’s required from a new recipe, visual shot or ebook for a brand and works hard to produce exactly what’s required for her clients” - Julie, RealFoodSource 

“I had you in my mind, I trust you, you have such a good eye for design, you’re honest and you a great writer too. You’re seeing things ahead of me and coming up with solutions that I haven’t yet seen.” - Leila, branding client

"Having worked with Jo for over 3 years now, she is one of our trusted 'go to's' for recipe and menu innovation, her genuine passion for all things healthy sit well with Nourish and has been key in helping us direct our menu offering to customers. In addition, Jo has been incredible when it comes to food photography for our menus. Jo has also been great as a sounding board and will be happy to give creative input from menu development through to delivery"  -  David @ Nourish Restaurants
