I'm Josie Jonckheere - designer, artist, and perpetual creator. I specialize in web design and development, but I'll take on just about any creative challenge, from logo design to abstract painting to photography. If it involves bringing an idea to life, I'm in.
Beyond work, I have a passion for sports photography - especially rugby and rodeos. I'm an avid reader, a daughter of entrepreneurs and a friend to anyone who also just goes to baseball games for the hotdogs.
The best title I've ever been given is Aunt, I procrastinate by deep cleaning my home and doing yard work, and writing snail mail is my favorite pastime. I believe Sunday mornings are incomplete without pancakes and bacon, if I could golf a whole course with just a putter, I would, and I'll only do karaoke if it's We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel.
My great-great-grandparents emigrated from Belgium and built a farm in Michigan that has stayed in my family over 100 years. Though I'm native to the mitten, I've lived in many places - my favorite being my GMC canyon while traveling the country.
At the core of everything I do is a love for creating things that matter. Whether I'm building a website, designing a logo, or capturing a moment through my camera lens, my goal is to always leave a lasting impact. Seeing my work make someone excited about their business, their brand, or even just a piece of art on their wall brings me so much joy.
I'm a creature of habit who loves change.
I love trying new things, moving to new places, and evolving at work. But I'd be lost without my routine. I believe routines are essential to a good work ethic. When our activities become standardized, it creates a structure for our lives and allows us to be more efficient.
Outside of work, my weekly routine looks a little something like this:
