Hi, I’m Jo 👋
Background
I’m a Filipina-Canadian Graphic, Motion, & Web Designer with a love for visual storytelling, thoughtful composition, and design that moves people.
Driven by curiosity and a passion for problem-solving, I thrive at the intersection of creativity and intention. Whether I’m designing layered brand visuals, animating dynamic motion pieces, or crafting immersive 3D scenes, I approach every project with care, precision, and a strong sense of narrative. To me, design is more than aesthetics; it’s about creating moments that feel meaningful, engaging, and alive.
I’m equal parts introvert and extrovert: I love quiet mornings with a good book just as much as collaborative brainstorms with a great team. You’ll often find me exploring a new trail, curled up with a novel, or immersed in a video game world. I believe in the power of thoughtful design, human connection, and never settling for “good enough.”
I bring a human-centred, detail-driven approach to every collaboration, grounded in curiosity and a genuine love for what I do. I’m here to make things beautiful, expressive, impactful, and to do it with heart.
Design Philosophy
Design is storytelling. Every colour choice, typeface, and movement has the power to shape how a message is felt and understood.
I approach design as a balance between creativity and intention, combining visual experimentation with structured problem-solving. My goal is to create work that is expressive, engaging, and built with purpose. At its best, design connects people to ideas in ways that feel intuitive, memorable, and meaningful.
Client Approach
I believe great design comes from collaboration. My process focuses on understanding a client’s goals, developing thoughtful design solutions, and refining ideas through feedback and iteration.
By combining creativity with clear communication, I aim to create work that is both visually engaging and purposeful.

"Every once in a while, you come across a student who seems to have a natural, polished talent from day one—Josephine is exactly that student. She joined our program with an impressive design foundation and has only continued to sharpen her skills with every new project she takes on.
It’s been a real privilege getting to know Jo during her time in the IDP and watching her impeccable talent truly shine. She is incredibly hardworking, organized, and motivated, and I have no doubt she’ll be a force to be reckoned with as she starts her career.
I couldn’t give a higher recommendation; simply put, Jo is a wonderful talent and a joy to work with."

"With over 25 years of experience as an educator, combined with my
background in graphic design and running a digital media company, I have worked with many emerging creatives. Jo stands out as a true talent and a highly motivated individual. She consistently demonstrates a strong
understanding of the tasks at hand and approaches her work with both professionalism and initiative.
What sets Jo apart is her ability to go beyond expectations. Not only does she complete assigned work to a high standard, but she regularly delivers more than what is asked for. Every piece of work I have seen her produce has been top notch, reflecting both her technical skills and her creative instincts.
Jo is a go-getter with a bright future ahead of her in the design industry. I
have full confidence in her ability to contribute meaningfully to any team or project she takes on."
