Testimonials
Some kind words shared by current and former colleagues and clients...
Jo has so many skills and is a social media wiz. Her turnaround is very fast — whether for design, comms drafts or a marketing plan — and in particular I find her excellent at crisis communications. This is the kind of thing you don’t know you need until you’re in that situation. Trust me.

Jo is a talented communicator, a skilled writer and a very reliable and strong member of various teams. She delivers on time, within budget, and her contribution is always excellent. She is a true asset to the organizations she works with. I highly recommend her as a resource/ consultant in the not-for-profit sector. She adds value to whatever she takes on and is gifted in design, writing, team building and production.

I've benefited from Jo's talent both personally and professionally. She designed several pieces, including the invitations and posters for my son's Bar Mitzvah, with a very tight turnaround time. More recently, Jo has filled a parental leave for the communications manager position at my synagogue, the Danforth Jewish Circle; the handoff was seamless. She hit the ground running, and within a few days, she was managing our social media accounts and adapting to our brand voice with ease. She overhauled the design of our e-newsletters and is maintaining all of our website content efficiently. The DJC has benefitted immensely from her skill set and positive attitude.

I've been fortunate to use Jo's services dozens of times over the past ten years. She has polished my resume, created a personal website for me, proofread countless documents and even designed my wedding invitations. My wife was thrilled! From my experience, you can always count on great results.

Jo volunteered her time on the parent council at our public school during the years her son attended. She designed all manner of materials from posters to Instagram stories and helped the council look so organized and professional. Such a blessing.

Jo is reliable, dedicated, and exceptionally good at what she does. She brings clarity, creativity, and professionalism to every project. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. She is very responsive, attentive, and her attention to detail ensures each project is a job well done. I’m grateful to have had the chance to work with Jo.

I'm a member of the clergy who regularly delivers sermons and writes emails to my congregation. I admit that I often leave these longer than I should but Jo has never once failed to edit any document I send her within the tightest of turnaround times. I'm thankful for her discretion, efficiency and reliability.
