About Jo Farrimond
I'm an award-winning Creative Director and Art Director with 25+ years of international experience at some of the world's most iconic publications: Sports Illustrated (TIME Inc.), Cosmopolitan and Redbook (HEARST), SHE and NEXT Magazine (ACP/Bauer) and Cuisine (Fairfax). I also helped implement Brand Identity Guidelines across all Hearst International titles and led the launch of Dr Oz Magazine.
My career has taken me from Sydney to New York to Auckland, working with world-class photographers, stylists, editors and talent, directing cover shoots, redesigning major titles, and building creative departments from the ground up.
Back in New Zealand, I now bring that same level of thinking to local businesses, offering web design, AEO & SEO, brand strategy, photography, creative direction, and creative consulting for clients who want to look as good as they actually are.
What I do
