I’m Jo Bund, a surface pattern designer and artist living by the coast in the UK.
Creativity has always been a huge part of my life. Growing up I was often drawing and making, and I knew from an early age I wanted to pursue a creative life. I took an Art Foundation course, then gained a 2:1 degree in Printed Textile Design at the University of East London, followed by an MA in Digital Media & Cultural Studies. I’ve been a Graphic Designer for over 25 years and, since 2010, I’ve been running my own design business, Equilibrium Creative, with my husband.
In 2015, I joined a Creative Journal course where I rediscovered sketchbooks and altered books. In 2017, I co-founded an artist book collective called SEVEN with a group of local artists. We meet up regularly to collaborate on projects, exhibit locally (see Leigh Art Trail), and run creative workshops.
In 2025 I completed the Immersion course, with Bonnie Christine, and I am beginning a new chapter in surface pattern design and printmaking as V&B Studio. As I develop collections I'll be adding them here to my portfolio.
