“Things don’t need to be fancy to be wonderful.”
Hi, I’m Jo.I earned my BA in Art Education from Ohio State in 2020, and since then my career has been its own creative adventure — childcare, IT support, web development, sales, and now higher ed admissions. These days I “sunlight” as Campus Experience Coordinator at Columbus College of Art & Design, surrounded by makers who keep me inspired. Jo Handmade is where all of it comes together: work that feels high-quality yet cozy, beautiful yet approachable, always made with integrity and joy.
