About

Hi! I am Jo and love working with people to create something new and entertaining. Conveying ideas or messages through visual media has been a passion of mine. I always start with: what is the story and who is it for? So far I got to work with professional actors, amateurs, animals and art. I am really looking forward to broadening my horizon and find the ideal form for my next project.
