Artwork and Interior Design
"Jo's style is fresh, interesting and imaginative. She has been called a colour magician as her talent and ability to combine colours is always at the heart of her projects. Her use of texture and art play a huge role in Jo's interiors' schemes."
"Having recently won the award for Best Hotel Design at the Northern Design Awards 2021, Design by Jo Bee Ltd. is at the forefront of northern design, pushing the boundaries and upping the game for competitors. Her project at Howgill Lodge, to transform four tired old caravans into luxury country retreats, is a wonderful showcase of her most recent work. In almost every room Jo demonstrates great attention to detail as well as an abundance of creative flair. Many of the walls showcase her stunning original abstract art work which adds another dimension of excitement and life to her interiors schemes. "
