A few words about what I do…
Put simply, I like to create designs that are beautiful, functional and relevant. I thoroughly enjoy the task of designing something that appeals to a specific audience, and that fulfils a specific purpose.
My education at University College Nordjylland focused primarily on printed products and covered various aspects of a career in graphic design, including communication, sales and marketing, budgeting and production. In addition to the above, the course of study that I chose provided me with a deeper insight into design, branding and storytelling, through which I developed a keen interest in logo design and visual identity.
More recently I have begun to explore the world of designing for the web. This started with some introductory classes at college in web design, Flash and After Effects, and was continued at home through the use of online tutorials and lots of experimentation, the results of which can be seen on this website.

A little bit about me…
My name is Jo Sturgess, I am 27 years old and I come from Cornwall in the UK. I moved to Denmark in June 2008 and spent the following two years studying graphic design at University College Nordjylland, in Aalborg, from where I recently graduated with an AP degree in Design & Technology (Graphics).
I am a positive and friendly person who loves being part of a team and also works well individually. I am a fast and enthusiastic learner, cope well with pressure and always take great pride in what I do.
I am currently taking on freelance design work and looking for a full-time job within graphic design. If you are interested in working with me, then please feel free to drop me a line using the contact form below.
In my spare time I love…
travelling; snowboarding; mountains; beaches; cooking; lazy Sunday afternoons at home; good food and good wine with good friends; wakeboarding; thunderstorms; taking photos; barbeques; summer; fresh snow; a cosy armchair and a good book; and much more…
