- WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT US -
Expectations Exceeded in Every Way!
​
Working with Design by Jo has been so much more than I thought it was going to be. It was more than just designing a logo or thinking about a website. It was really taking the heart of what I do and showing it to the world in a way that I didn't even know I could. I wanted to go from ordinary, to premier and concierge - and boy has it been amazing watching that process happen.
​
Johanna took the time to find out every detail about my business, and CARE about every detail of the process. Walking out of my brand photo shoot I feel like a million dollars. I finally feel like the true owner of an amazing company that will do great things and change the lives of many more people - people that we would never have been able to reach if it wasn't for Johanna's help.

As an artist myself, I really loved watching how Johanna worked to bring my brand together from start to finish. She wove my existing styles as a children's author in with my history as an artist to bring out my authentic self in every way! From my new personal brand style and wardrobe to the minute details in my logo, she dug into who I am individually, and made sure to see the whole me in order to weave it together into the beautiful final result.
And most importantly, she helped me bring my message together. Everything that was in my head over here and over there - she pulled it together into clear concise words so that I could convey it to the world.
The Process Was So Much Fun

The Experience Was Pure Magic
​
I don't know what exactly I expected going in, but I was completely blown away by not just the results, but the entire process. After the initial brand design phase was complete, I felt 1000% further along in building my business, and am way more comfortable showing up online. Jo is a genius with crafting the brand message and pairing it with the visual design elements, so my business not only looks premium, but I now feel like I have the right words to say in client interactions as well.
​
I have never been happier or more satisfied working with ANYONE. I'm now obsessed with her work, and consider myself a Design by Jo superfan!

Delivered Far Beyond All Expectations

Johanna is simply amazing. If you are looking for a brand re-fresh or to create a new brand, she is the person you want to work with. When I began working with Johanna, I had an idea of what I wanted and yet I had greater clarity on what I didn’t want. She led me through the process – answering questions, offering suggestions, answering more of my questions and continued to take my words and emotions - crafting it into an integrated whole that is beyond my expectations. She is clearly an expert at her craft and also has the rare ability to talk, teach and question at the client level. Johanna’s joy in her work and in creating spectacular results for her clients is demonstrated in each product and touch point.

Whirlpool’s GCD team has worked with Jo over several years. We continue to reach out to Johanna because we trust her abilities as a designer, teammate, and project manager. She communicates and tracks design feedback very well. She has an extra measure of patience when dealing with personalities and leadership. As a leader, I find Jo’s workflow and process easy to follow. Her design sensitivities produce beautiful compositions as well as the functional art, information graphics, and communication spreads that help our team move projects and ideas forward.

Makes Your Brand Tangible
I have hired Johanna many times for design work ranging from mobile app wireframes to logo design. It's hard to describe how awesome it was to work with her without sounding like a paid spokesperson.
She has taken some of the most complicated, weird design concepts and turned them into beautiful, tangible illustrations.
What sets Johanna apart is her ability to deeply understand the goals of a project, and somehow translate that into something tangible.
