Jo - Web Developer

How long have you been part of the team at Shape?

Although I'm the newest member of MadeByShape, I have been a web designer and developer for over 5 years and when I found out about MadeByShape I just knew it was the perfect place to be. I've now been at MadeByShape for over 7 months.

What's your favourite aspect about working at Shape?

I love the atmosphere and how friendly and helpful everyone is. You really feel like part of a team and everyone is passionate about their work which encourages you to do the same. I also love how the studio has been decorated with plants, photos and fun figurines. It makes it feel like home and not a work office.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

Most of the time my life revolves around my dog Pebble. She is a miniature bull terrier who is the funniest and sweetest dog ever. I love taking her for walks and going out on day trips with her. There is very rarely a moment that she isn't by my side. I've also recently become an avid gardener after getting my first house. I filled every inch with cottage flowers and I have a nice corner seating to relax and take in the garden. I’m also captain for the local hockey team in Bolton. I play nearly every week at the weekend and it is my favourite sport to play.

So, you're a Wallace and Gromit fan?

I am a huge fan of Wallace and Gromit. Back in 2013 I went to Bristol and did the Gromit Unleashed sculpture trail which featured over 60 giant Gromit sculptures. Since then I have collected mini figurines of Gromits, Shaun the sheep and Feathers McGraw (the evil penguin). I even have one signed by the creator Nick Park, which I won in an auction. In total I have 45 figurines and counting.
