OUR IMAGINEERS
Jo Derviller
Founder & Creative Director
Jo founded Imaginate 21 years ago, based on strong core values of creativity and customer service. Jo has been a designer for 34 years, and is a published writer and public speaker on creative design for publications such as Brand Communications. She's a bit of a dreamer who, 21 years ago, set herself on a road to build an agency full of like-minded individuals, where design is king, creativity is unbound, and nothing but perfection is good enough. She is always pushing the boundaries and prides herself on developing long lasting close working relationships with her clients and believes strongly in going the “extra mile” to achieve perfection.
Jo has been integral on the success of multi faceted projects such as HSBC’s Wimbledon Activation, which encompassed branding deliverables across the infamous Queue Walkway, HQ activations at Canary Wharf and experiential creations at Wimbledon Station. She has worked on 3 Olympic Games, and was the lead designer on the complete redesign of the World Rugby Museum at Twickenham prior to the World Cup.
She is a published writer on the subject of design and a public speaker and is the imagination behind The Forty4 Creative co-working space in Leamington Spa. Jo is also on the Shadow Board of Directors for the new multi-million pound Warwick Arts Centre project and has been a Judge for the Woman Who Achieves Awards for the last 3 years.
