I'll illustrate your children's book, magazine, poster, ad campaign or presentation. I received a BA Hons from Lancaster University for Art & Design in 2000, and an MSc from Bradford University in 2002 where I studied animation. For the last 20 years I've worked as an animator and graphic designer and illustrator.

Periscope Studios were recruited by Oldham Council to create two short animations that would communicate COVID-19 safety messaging whilst promoting the fact business were back open. In doing so, we created our most viewed social media posts ever and received recognition from the cabinet office for the high quality standard of the works. Looking back, I cannot describe how fundamental Periscope has been to that success and can't recommend them enough. Their creativity, drive and attention to detail is beyond reproach, seeing our project without limitations - only possibilities. It's this mindset that allowed us to connect with our audience in a new and more engaging way, at a time when their was a notable fatigue to COVID messaging. I look forward to working with them again in the future knowing there is only more excellence to come. If you're looking to creative something special for your current campaign, Periscope are the team to work with. More...

I've been working with Jo on AuKids magazine for close to 12 years now and I consider her an essential part of what we do. When it came to our children's book, Jo was first choice. She has an ability to take an idea and not only interpret it accurately but then go one better and enhance it. The book's doing very well and her friendly and clever illustrations are a big part of that. She has enormous patience when generating an idea and takes on board tweaks and suggestions easily. I think the day we found Jo we struck gold. She really is world class at what she does, prices very fairly and is very 'low key'; never a huff or a puff when things are changed. I find her work immediately engaging. More...

Jo was extremely personable from the start.
Professional yet friendly. Perfect balance. Her illustrations were spot on as she not only listened to our ideas but took them to the next level.
She has a wealth of knowledge and for a complete novice in the book writing/publishing World that was invaluable.
What greater praise to someone offering any service than to have them already planned in to illustrate my next book.

It has been a pleasure working with Jo. She has been extremely helpful and has completed the work as planned within the agreed time frame. Nothing is too much trouble and I would recommend her to anyone thinking of developing an animated film. Jo met with our team and came prepared with examples of what could be achieved. She has an eye for bringing the animation to life with sensitivity to the issues we needed in the film. She also gave invaluable advice throughout the making of the film and provided regular drafts as things developed. We are really pleased with the final product. More...

We recently commissioned Periscope to produce a promotional animation for our business. From our initial meetings, Jo and the team drew up a storyboard/proposals artwork, with a range of music and voice over artists to choose from. They were very attentive to our needs and have produced a piece of work we’re very happy with. More...

What do you love most about your job?
No two jobs are the same. I've illustrated children's books, exhibition spaces, magazine articles, you name it. I love hearing how happy the customer is with their finished illustration(s).
What inspired you to start your own business?
I'm following my passion - this is something I enjoy, and if you do something you enjoy, you never work a day in your life.
Why should our clients choose you?
I always stay within the budget and timescale quoted. I've won multiple awards for my own children's books (see accreditations section). I illustrated 'The Ice-cream Sundae Guide to Autism' which became a number one best seller on Amazon. I've created a great variety of illustrations over the years, such as children's museum exhibition spaces, theatre exteriors, children's books, magazines, brochures and once I even illustrated the side of a cargo train. Bark awarded me a 'Certificate of Excellence' badge in 2020 for my customer ratings and response time.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes I work remotely. I can email illustrations for small projects, or for larger projects (for instance children's books, I can upload artwork to a development website where each illustration can be checked and approved). If I'm designing the book/brochure myself, I email regular PDFs, firstly showing each illustration in the book/brochure as a sketch to check, then again as they're inked in.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I work fully remotely, so that's about as Covid safe as you can get. I can use Zoom or Skype for a virtual chat if needed, and I'm always on the end of the phone if there are any questions.
