About me

I'm Jo Ogilvie, a graphic designer who has always had a passion for creating. Graphic design was the perfect path for me to travel as it encompasses so many creative outlets. I studied first at Central St Martins in London and then gained my BA (Hons) in Graphic Design at Kingston University. Since then I have worked for several agencies in and around London including Interbrand Newell & Sorrell, Aricot Vert, Conker Design, Reef Communications and Harrods Creative.

Within these agencies I worked for a great variety of well known brands including Armitage Shanks, Compass Group, Invensys, NHS, Waterstone's and Virgin Limited Edition, as well as across all areas of the Harrods brand.

Working on projects alongside my clients from the concept stage to delivery of the finished product has always excited me. Many projects have included collaboration with illustrators, photographers, copywriters, web developers and printers.

Since starting Sharp Pencil Design in 2007, I have worked with a range of clients on branding, print and web design projects, many of whom have returned to use my services year after year. Most recently I have designed online interactive product guides for Dell Technologies, teaching resources and reports for the charity Delight and product launches for Avon.
