Philip Donahue,
Level Designer, Game Wizards
Worked directly with Jo at Art Institute of Los Angeles - Santa Monica“Jo was great to work with. In the "Killing Time" project he worked diligently as Art Lead and took on the Production responsibilities for us. He was always watching the production sheet and monitoring the progress of assignments for the art team. He was always there to offer his opinion or help to anyone that could use a tutorial. Jo was also the vehicle lead in the Aftermath project where he led the vehicle group, but even though I was not under him, he still managed to give me a few pointers here and there. I've had good experiences working with Jo and would be eager to do so again in the future.

David Manners
Student, The Art Institute of California-Los Angeles
Worked directly with Jo at Game Wizards (Killing Time project)“My experience with JoHo as one of the game leads on the "Killing Time" Production team at the Art Institute, was one of my best . He was always eager and willing to help me bring my skill to another level. He always kept a smile on his face and was always teaching anyone who wanted to learn. He taught myself and others new, faster, and better ways of achieving great looking 3d models and textures. I recommend Jo for any position that he applys for. I have learned so much from his eagerness for great work. Truely and well, swell human being. And a very funny guy. Continued success my friend.
Timmy Jordan
Associate Producer, Game Wizards
Worked indirectly for Jo at Game Wizards (Killing Time project)“Jo was an extremely valuable friend and cohort in my first few seasons of Game Wizards. He backed up his expertise of all things 3D with a pleasant and inviting demeanor. I came into the group still wet behind the ears when I found myself in the undesirable role of associate producer on a modest project. Jo helped me guide a small group of quiet yet gifted artists into producing very high quality 3D assets. There's no doubt that Jo's knowledge, patience, and above all hard work, made it possible to turn such an unassuming bunch of kids, myself included, into a highly functional team of game developers.”
Carlo Belmonte
Assistant Overall Environment Art Lead - Killing Time Project, Game Wizards
Reported to Jo at Game Wizards (Killing Time project)“Joe has proven himself a very reliable worker and and trainer. He has repeatedly shown complete devotion to every job he gets his hands on and strides to be an asset to any team.”
Daryl Hanna Tancinco
Street Level Lead/3D Asset Artist, Game Wizards
Reported to Jo at Game Wizards (Killing Time project)“Joseph Ho, or JoHo as well call him on the team, was a vital instrument to the Killing Time project. If it was anyone who really strives to get each environmental piece to look its best it was him. And in return the people he's managed have stepped up to the plate. If it weren't for Jo's leadership and his "I will not settle for less" attitude, I wouldn't have become the confident leader I am today. He is definitely someone you want on the team if you want things done right and at the utmost quality.”
Betty Rubio
Student, Art Institute of California- Los Angeles
Studied with Jo at Art Institute of Los Angeles - Santa Monica“I have had the honor and pleasure working alongside with Jo on several projects. He is amazingly talented and is always doing the best work possible. I can see why he was a team lead; not only does he have a strong leadership, he is professional and encourages and motivates other team members as well. That’s why I enjoyed working with Jo, he has taught me so much and he also brings out the best work in people. He is outstandingly conversant when it comes to the video game industry, which makes him an excellent candidate for any game job. I can certainly say without hesitation that he is a hard worker, always putting in 110%, energetic and passionate about his work. He is the definition of what it takes to be a team lead, and I had experienced it first hand. Give him a project and he will not only finish it on time, but exceed the expectations and then some.”
