About Jo Wilson Design

Hey there, I am Jo Wilson

I am a graphic designer specialising in branding and illustration and I am super passionate about partnering with businesses that are committed to making a positive impact – whether through community support, self-development and health, education, creative industries or beyond.

Originally born in Zimbabwe, I’m now proud to call Perth, Western Australia home, after gaining experience at design studios around the world, from South Africa to England.

Inspired by a lifelong love for art and design, I started my own business with the vision of offering strategic and thoughtful graphic design to businesses like yours. I want to help bring your unique brand story to life, so you can thrive and grow in your business.

Branding that Connects and Inspires

LET’S BRING THAT AMAZING IDEA TO LIFE!

It’s an honour to be a small part of your business journey. I’m excited to work with you to help you showcase your business in a way that represents your brilliance. You’re already doing incredible things and I’m here to make the process smoother and more efficient, so you can focus on what you do best.

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to branding. Every business is unique, and each project deserves a tailored solution. Creative design, combined with strategic thinking, helps you get noticed.

CREATIVE SOLUTIONS

I love capturing the personality of your business in a way that feels unique to you and my passion for illustration and pattern design can help your branding stand out and be remembered.

For me, design is a way of life. I find constant inspiration in the world around me, especially in nature. And even though I work digitally, I still enjoy starting with the old school pencil and paper to sketch out ideas. I love combining hand-drawn illustrations with digital tools to create something truly special.

People buy from people

“You aren’t just selling a product or service.
You’re selling a product or service provided by a human being that’s you.
And that’s what makes it special.

My Purpose

I’ve always loved what I do, but after years in my career, I craved more meaning and creativity in my work. That’s when I dusted off my old sketchbook and started drawing again.

The first thing I sketched was a Willy Wagtail for my son – this simple act sparked a turning point. From there, I embraced a more organic and intentional approach to design, leading to the creation of my business, with the Willy Wagtail becoming part of my logo.

Not long after, I entered a national wrapping paper competition and won the ‘People’s Choice’ award – an experience that ignited my love for pattern design, now a key element in my branding work.

Today, I help business owners amplify their message, connect with their audience, and create a greater impact through thoughtful branding and illustration.

I believe in signs, and whenever I need to reconnect with my purpose, that little bird appears – wags it’s tail – and gently reminds me why I do what I do.

what my happy clients have to say

Jo is so easy to work with and completely understood how I wanted the logo for my new business designing. The result is a unique logo and business card design that I love. I’m in the UK and Jo is in Australia but that made no difference to the quality of service I received. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jo.

Jo is my go-to when it comes to any graphic design work, particularly when building websites for our clients. Her natural talent is in creating the perfect logo for our clients. As a true graphic design professional, she also understands the diverse use for logos and other graphical items and ensures that whatever she creates will work in all formats and across all platforms. I am incredibly particular about who I work with – due to the calibre of her work, Jo makes it easy for me to refer and work with her.
