Let’s Collaborate!

Design, storytelling and strategic creative support for purpose-led brands doing things a little differently.

Whether you're building a wellness business, an adventure brand, a creative studio or something entirely your own, your business deserves more than great product listings, website or beautiful visuals. It deserves a wider story people connect with. Because every part of your business shapes how people experience your brand.

That's where I come in.

I work alongside a select number of brands each month, helping shape not only how they look, but how they communicate, connect and grow.

From design and copy to content, customer journeys and creative strategy, I'll help you turn scattered ideas into a brand that feels clear, consistent and unmistakably you.

If you're looking for a creative partner to become an extension of your team, I'd love to hear what you're building.

Let’s have a chat!

Working together over time creates something that's difficult to achieve through one-off projects.

As I become immersed in your business, I can help spot opportunities, join the dots between ideas, and co-create the bigger picture alongside the day-to-day creative work.

Instead of repeatedly briefing a designer or copywriter, you'll have someone who understands your brand, knows your voice, and can help keep everything moving in the same direction.

As an ongoing client you'll benefit from:

  • A creative partner who understands your business and your vision.

  • Consistent design, storytelling and strategic support that evolves with your brand.

  • Faster, more seamless collaboration because we're building on shared knowledge, not starting from scratch.

  • Priority access to my time and creative energy.

  • Preferential pricing as a thank you for committing to an ongoing partnership.

How we work…

You’ll receive…

  • Flexible ongoing weekly design, copy and strategy support.

  • ~6 hours of support spread across each week (based on a 4wk month).

  • Monthly goals set together, with fluid progress throughout.

  • Ongoing communication via email and Voxer/Whatsapp voice notes.

  • Option to add on focussed Design Days* at a 50% discounted client rate when you need them.

Investment: £1000 per month

We’ll begin with a one-month trial to lay the foundations, with the intention to continue as a six month agreement (reviewed every six months). Invoices are sent monthly.

I only collaborate with businesses I genuinely believe in - wellness-led, creative, adventurous brands whose values align with mine. That’s why the retainer service is intentionally limited for a select number of clients at any one time. When we work together, you’re not just “booking design time”, you’re getting a partner who’s invested in your vision.

*What is a ‘Design Day’? Think of it as a creative partnership in turbo mode. One day, total focus, design and copy tasks big or small and a big tick off your design hit list. >>> 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
