Podcast highlight: Jo Harrison

In Tales from the Engine Room episode 3 Caroline talks to Jo Harrison, top notch illustrator and graphic designer.

The Skiff. Tales from the Engine Room. Jo Harrison

As a freelancer, I loved hearing how her early jobs fed into her current professional life, how Jo balances her solo work, collaborations and being in control of projects, and even more how she is creative one way with work, and in a more free way in her non-work life. Also, singing to your cat isn’t that unusual, is it?

This is a super interesting episode and well worth listening to. You can listen here, or subscribe to Tales from the Engine Room wherever you get your podcasts. If you like what you hear, free up your creative side with Jo at Doodle Club in a couple of weeks.

New members

We’ve welcomed 10 new and returning members to The Skiff in the last month. Check out the #introduce-yourself channel on Slack to find out more about them. Great to see other members also re-introducing themselves, 13 so far this week!

Coming soon:

Wednesday 19th July we have both Show and Tell (lunchtime) and Doodle Club (early evening.) Thanks to Caroline, Tom and Jo for organising.
