Further keynote public speaking appointments have included London's Decorex,[13] the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), in New York,[14][15] and the International Property Awards,[16] for which she is a judge.[17] Hamilton also became a What House? Awards judge in 2016,[18][19] with What House? editorial director Rupert Bates stating: “We are delighted to have Jo on board. She is hugely talented and regarded and joins an outstanding panel of judges.”[20] She is a judge also for the Index Architecture and Design Awards.[21]

From a young age Hamilton believed she would become an artist,[54] with her "first love" being fashion design.[55] She became an interior designer in 1995 with a brief professional background in graphic design before she had three children.

Her father, Brian Clarke, writes a monthly column for The Times, on fly-fishing and the environment.[56]

Hamilton's agent is Peter MacFarlane, of London-based MacFarlane Chard Associates.[57]
