Happy Customers

Joha designed this beautiful traditional font gold leaf number and letter over the door . She arrived on schedule and spent the day painstakingly painting the numbers and applying the gold leaf by hand , it was like watching an artist at work and the end result far exceeded my expectations and give the front of the property a real lift making a super first impression. Thankyou joha 😊

Gilded House Number in Belfast

I come across Joha’s work on instagram just as we were looking to hire a traditional sign writer. The work involved was on an extremely high end residential property in Belgravia, it had to be perfect. At first I was a bit anxious to use someone I had never met or worked with before but Joha exceeded all expectations and completed the work within the agreed time frame and to the highest possible standard. We will not be looking anywhere else for traditional sign writers anymore.

"Joha has done our sign writing in all 3 of our stores now (Fly Boy Pizza & Wings) and they have all turned out perfectly. Joha is professional and reliable and very easy to work with. She has worked exactly to the plans/design as requested and completed the work within a tight timeline too. She has been wonderful to work with!"

"Thank you so much for bringing our vision to life. The real-leaf place cards turned out so well and we couldn't be happier. Some guests even took them home after the wedding as a souvenir or use them as a bookmark."

Joha did a great job for us on the main signage for the front facade Jenny Watts pub in Bangor. She was professional and helpful throughout. Highly recommended.

Joha is an incredible painter, I ordered two personalised bottles from her and absolutely love them. She takes care to make all of her commissions special, even the small ones. Will definitely be ordering from Joha again for presents etc

I contacted Joha for our cofee shop's fascia, logo and signages. I was very surprised how professional and efficient she was. Once she received the design brief and concept she got to work straight away. As client, I felt my ideas were taken on board and she really listened and was able to translate my ideas into reality.

I commissioned Jo to write out a poem in calligraphy, as a gift for a bride to be. I cannot fault her at all! She worked within a tight time frame, the writing was perfect and consistent throughout, and she advised on how to present the poem-framing it for me as well! I was delighted with the finished product-beautiful keepsake, professionally carried out!
