ABOUT HANNAH JO
I'm Hannah Jo, and I’ve been designing ever since I discovered I could make dinosaurs out of Cheerios. A fine arts enthusiast, I sketch, paint, sing, act, dance and have even tried roller derby. (Derby name: Hannah Barbar-ian! - Love animation.)
I accent this unique lineup with a career in creative advertising.
I’m a senior level Art Director, but I'm a creative first. I thrive on solving problems for my clients, whether that’s with strategy or design. I strive to tell meaningful stories through design, helping brands authentically connect their audiences, and delivering a positive customer experience from the first interaction to the last.
For the past 2 years, I’ve been contracted as a senior Art Director at Capital One, where I work across various teams in the Card Partnerships division, both on Conversions and Horizontal partners. I design creative for the launch of new cobrand credit cards, including products for Williams-Sonoma, BJ’s, Walmart, REI and Kohl’s. I’m also piloting the use of Figma internally, spearheading development of new presentation library. I create microsites, emails/EASE materials, print/DMs, in-store materials, and various communications to guide consumers through conversion journey.
I also have a background in foodservice and CPG/retail, having worked as Senior Art Director at Foodmix Marketing Communications for 8 years, concepting and executing brand strategy and 360 campaigns, including print, digital, social, experiential, direct mail promotions, trade show booths, logos, websites and video production.
On the side I still have a passion for art, and try to find ways to utliize my talents as much as possible. I have been an artist from a young age, have illustrated coloring books, and written /illustrated young author books. I have designed signs for weddings and private events. But most notably, I enjoy using my talents to help local community groups; I have 5+ years of designing for Chicagoland theater organizations, creating marketing materials (including posters, t-shirts, handouts) and managing their online and social presence, as well as serving as Props Mistress for many musical productions.
Skills include Figma design, microsite and email design, digital and print creation, animation and video production, graphic design, presentation design, photography direction, writing, and media production.
Feel free to poke around, I have a few password-protected projects that are publicly restricted (the best is always guarded!), but if you have an opportunity, please reach out and I would be happy to share them with you! I’m always looking for the next great adventure!
