This is me.

I’m a scrappy, eager, young-at-heart graphic designer seeking cool people to geek out with about creative stuff.
After years as a fish on a bicycle in an office environment, my goal is to find a creative space where I belong, where my obsessive love of the right typeface for the design is appreciated, and where my colleagues understand that a spelling error will sink a project’s integrity.
My venn diagram is a bunch of fully overlapping circles: serious, silly, snarky, professional, creative, analytical, hyper-focused, in the clouds—all of them are equally and unapologetically me.
I can be enthusiastic about ANYTHING. I like stickers and dinosaurs, have rarely met a craft project I didn’t try, and value open, constructive communication above almost all else.
And this is me:
Jo, you claim your creative niche is "pretty much everything"--is that true?
