Hi there! I’m Jo and I’ve founded
It’s a pleasure to meet you ◡̈
terribly
branded.
This one is kind of a read… I am working on fixing that for you
Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, I’ve spent my life traveling the world, which has given me a deep appreciation for culture, art, and the power of storytelling. These experiences have shaped my creative vision, leading me to specialize in web design, branding, brand strategy and more.
As I explored different cultures, I became fascinated by the way branding can vary — some being bold and extravagant, while others are minimalist and understated. Regardless of style, I believe in creating products and identities that are not only functional and visually appealing but also unique and imaginative.
Beyond my professional interests, I find balance and inspiration in music, reading, learning, cooking, and baking. These activities allow me to relax while keeping my mind sharp and my creativity flowing. They also fuel my passion for continually learning and improving, as I believe that growth is essential to success in life.
My work focuses on telling your brand’s story to the world with honesty, transparency, ambition, and passion. I’m here to help you turn your vision into a reality, making your brand stand out while staying true to its core values. Every project I take on is an opportunity to amplify your voice and bring your unique story to life.
The mission behind my brand is rooted in the belief that to achieve greatness, we must first embrace imperfection. To be “terrible,” we must aim for perfection — and to reach perfection, we must practice. I look forward to getting to know you, working together, and helping your brand become the best version of itself as we both strive to grow and evolve.
The Terrible Start
terriblybranded. began with a simple yet profound idea: embracing imperfection as the first step toward growth and mastery. Because let’s be honest, practice makes perfect is a lie. It’s practice makes progress. The name “terriblybranded.” reflects the belief that every great creation starts with a "terrible" beginning—one that evolves through practice, grit, and a commitment to improvement. It also reflects the approachability I hope to achieve with my brand so that all people, from small business owners or starting influencers feel comfortable in my space to grow and be great. To be "terrible" isn’t a flaw; it’s the foundation for achieving greatness.
The inspiration for terriblybranded. came from my lifelong passion for storytelling, creativity, and helping others. Growing up in San Antonio, Texas, and traveling the world gave me a unique perspective on culture, art, and branding. I noticed how different brands made their voice heard and the different styles to each one. This inspired me to create a company that celebrates diverse styles while focusing on one goal: helping brands connect with their audiences in authentic, memorable ways.
As I worked on various creative projects—ranging from social media campaigns to brand identity development—I realized there was a need for marketing that was not only imaginative but also approachable and tailored to the unique needs of each client. I envisioned a brand that combined strategic thinking with creativity and brought a personal touch to every project.
terriblybranded is built on a foundation of values found in southern hospitality, honesty, and collaboration. These principles guide every aspect of my work, from crafting a brand identity to designing campaigns that tell compelling stories. It’s more than a marketing agency—it’s a creative space where bold ideas come to life, grounded in the belief that growth comes from embracing challenges.
With terriblybranded., I strive to turn visions into reality, empowering brands to stand out while staying true to their core values as well as mine. This journey has been one of discovery, creativity, and evolution—and it’s only just beginning.
