(While Joanne attempts to find a reasonable image of herself, please enjoy an image of her neighbour’s beautiful cat, Smokey :D)

Joanne is based in a cloudy town within Suffolk, UK where she is concocting her next design project while lamenting about the weather. 

With a focus on book cover design, she has worked with publishers and indie authors as a freelancer. She loves looking at the newest trends in cover design and connecting with designers in the industry. Joanne has goals to see her designs on subscription book boxes and surface pattern design.
