Jo Askey

Background:

I work as a part-time graphic designer by day as well as taking on freelance graphic design and Illustration projects. I particularly like working with other creatives so designing for the hand-made community is always very rewarding.

Inspiration:

Always Inspired by the quirky and the poignant and by the beauty in every day objects and situations. I love to focus on the little details that can sometimes go unnoticed.

My work with UK handmade:

I'm usually the last person to work on each issue of UK handmade, adding all the pictures, designing the layout and making sure it all looks great. So I'm very lucky that I'm one of the first to see the magazine in all it's glory and I have to try very hard not to get too distracted by all the wonderful articles!
