Jo is passionate about creative communication through intelligent design. After completing his BComm degree, he worked at different organisations in a marketing capacity, which included managing website projects. While working with developers, designers, and copywriters, he realized the powerful combination of these three services – and this led to the founding of Pathfind Media, a boutique brand and web marketing agency.
Upon obtaining further qualifications, Jo considers himself a frontend website designer with expert project management ability and good business sense. He loves team collaboration and thrives on continuous learning. When he is not working, he loves spending time in the great outdoors, handiwork, and experiencing new places locally and abroad (he has seen 32 different countries).
His ultimate priority is to be the best husband to his wife, father to his three girls, and to live for a Higher purpose.

Joel is a creator at heart – he is most satisfied when his ideas become tangible and help people in the real world. His journey with frontend website design extends all the way back to his high school years. He started out with a small side project developing and managing a now well-established online news and media platform for cyclists, attracting readers globally.
Ever since, he has immersed himself in the study of industrial and product design, specifically the understanding of user-centric design to apply expert design tactics. He prides himself in creating websites that inspire and engage with people on high levels of visual communication. When he is not in his office chair, Joel can be spotted pushing the limits on his bicycle or adventuring in some of the local mountain reserves. And yes, he is best operated caffeinated.
