Jo Garrett is a versatile screenwriter, director, and storyboard artist who brings a rich tapestry of experiences to storytelling. Growing up in a military family, she moved nearly every year, gaining an early understanding of how to step into new worlds, observe, and adapt. Today, in raising a multicultural family through adoption, she understands how identity and connection can be shaped in unexpected ways. These experiences are at the heart of her writing, guiding her toward stories that explore diversity, resilience, and belonging across multiple genres.

From her early years as a singer-songwriter, Jo learned how to create momentum with rhythm, tone, and structure. Her work as an illustrator and storyboard artist gave her a strong foundation in imagery. Screenwriting became the place where these elements fused. Together, they inform her belief that storytelling is not just craft but alchemy—turning fragments of lived experience and imagination into narratives that resonate with others. She also offers script consulting and pitch deck design services, where she collaborates with screenwriters to refine both story and presentation.

As a multidisciplinary artist, Jo’s talents extend across various mediums. She was awarded a Literary Grant in 2023 for her screenplay, “Low Tide”. Her notable illustration projects include storyboards for the special edition DVD releases of “Slither,” “Black Snake Moan,” “The Invasion,” and Rob Zombie’s “Halloween,” as well as concept art for U2’s “Origin of the Species” music video. She storyboarded and associate produced the music video for Lunavox’ What’s Locked Behind That Door, which won a Global Music Award and two Best Rock Video nominations. Her jewelry designs have been featured in “The Vampire Diaries,” “Charmed,” “Bloodline,” Hallmark’s “A Christmas Melody,” MTV Movie Award swag bags, and various magazines and newspapers, further showcasing her versatile artistry. In each artistic endeavor, Jo infuses her unique blend of creativity, heart and authenticity.
