About

Graphic Designer/Artist

Jo graduated from UTAS in 1993 with a BFA and specialises in Identity Design and Printmaking.
She has over 20 years experience as a Graphic designer, working for Boutique Design Branding Studios and publishing houses across Sydney, Perth, Auckland and San Francisco.
From 2012-2016 Jo ran an award winning home & giftwares brand Laikonik. She has since returned to her birthplace Tasmania and her first love, printmaking and textiles.

Jo’s collections reflect her Fine Arts/printmaking background with her carefully curated colour palettes which are inspired by her strong love of nature. Her designs speak of simplicity, raw beauty and organic themes. Inspiration comes from clever, thoughtful design with a sustainable focus in mind.
