Inspirational
Casey Hogue
Creative Director
Jo is the kind of creative leader that inspires everyone around to be better. She is a fantastic team leader and always has a clear picture of overall project/client marketing goals and messaging. She was a key member in helping build out our internal Activation Team, driving the development of core processes, capabilities, and workflows, while also executing high-quality work at the same time.
Stands Out
Adam Pratt
Sr. Marketing Manager
Jo stood out in a few notable ways. She has an obvious hunger for learning, constant improvement, and for helping her co-workers do their best work. Jo went above and beyond as a Creative Ambassador and even created a formal learning plan and seminar series for her team. I love it when customers are also partners, and it's been a delight to work with Jo.
Best-in-Class
Aaron Jacob
Creative Director
I was fortunate enough to witness Jo’s leadership, creative mastery, and ability to distill many multi-faceted programs and campaigns into clear, actionable briefs and executions firsthand. Her understanding of how to effectively and efficiently craft best-in-class creative across multiple channels and mediums, all while successfully managing a team of creatives, makes her an invaluable member of any team lucky enough to have her.
Tenacious
Kyley Del Bosque
Copywriter
Jo is easily one of the most creative, tenacious, and hard-working designers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She is serious about getting the job done but takes the time to connect with each person she works with on a personal level. She always celebrates the wins, both big and small. If I ever start a business, Jo will be the first person I recruit.
Many Hats!
Patrick Flood
Digital Creative Director
As a Sr. Art Director, Jo has many hats that she wears very well. I've collaborated with Jo on many projects from photoshoots, brand identity, UX, web design, digital assets, brainstorm sessions, and social media. Along with Jo's design experience, she plays a vital role within our team. She's highly engaging, inspiring, and responsible. Jo has volunteered as a mentor to all my interns helping and guiding them through all design areas. I highly recommend Jo if you need strong ideation and art direction.
Grounded
Kristi Lewis
Account Executive
Jo is one of the nicest and most TALENTED designers I’ve worked with. She works extremely hard to produce the best work no matter the time or day. Jo is easy-going, fun, & creates the coolest stuff! She is very approachable and highly organized which makes life easy. I can depend on her and she is able to manage multiple projects to meet deadlines. She has an eye for detail and executes with excellence. Jo is highly valued on the Barefoot digital team and anyone would be lucky to work with her!
Fire & Energy
Alex Helenius
Lead Designer
Jo was a great person to have had the pleasure of working alongside. She brought fire and energy to the table and it was always such a joy to see her work and communicate. She rarely got stuck when it came to figuring out design problems and was always very resourceful when it came to receiving help or having a second opinion. Jo had an eye for detail when it came to designing and she always made sure that the work being done was of high quality and that it added value to a client's project or campaign. I would recommend her to any team large or small especially when it comes to collaborating, brainstorming, and creative strategy.
A Delight
Mauricio Valadrian
Videographer
Jo is simply a delight to work with, not only is she sharp, focused, kind, and with an exemplary clear vision; but also has the kind of high standards that nowadays so scarce, but are essential to making any project successful. Her attention to detail is commendable, and her ability to adapt and to process feedback efficiently makes her an incredible asset for any collaboration. Not only do I recommend her, but very much look forward to the opportunity of working with her again.
Exceptional
Aisha Davis
Sr. UX/UI Design Manager
There is so much that I can say about Jo because she really is exceptional. Not only does she has a great creative vision but she has the confidence to sell her ideas and clearly explain her rationale and creative process. Her ability to successfully art direct a project is not the only area she excels. She is also a wonderful mentor for up-and-coming designers. That is one aspect about her that I truly appreciate because I can tell she honestly enjoys it.
