The Story / My Story

I'm a Nevada City-based creative professional. I have a big and varied creative background. I work in many different roles in many different industries —  everything from software product design (UX), to graphic design, to web design, branding, logos, and event graphics.

What kind of projects are a good fit?

I love working with local businesses because it’s exciting to see that work in action, and be able to help with your venture. Logos, websites, advertising or brochures. Yes, let's see if it’s a good fit!

I also love working with technology companies with a complicated product or story they want help with. I can be part of the team that makes that product happen, work with your development team to make it user-friendly and user-centric, or I can test it. I can also tell its story so your customers understand its value. 

And finally, if you are an outdoor-active or biking-related company then, double yes!! I spend most of my free time outside and riding a bike. I coach high schoolers. I would love to talk to you about any of your creative needs. An email from you would make my day. 

If you have any questions, just let me know. Have fun out there!

Nice things to say

  • “Joy is without a doubt the most talented UX professional I have come across in my career. She can design for any problem and loves solving usability problems, she can lead a dev team, she can be an idea factory, she can be the person that interfaces with your customers, and pretty much any other role you can define for her. Joy draws experience from so many industries and clients, and it shows up in her work. She is professional, and she makes every team more fun.”

  • "Where do I start with Joy? She is one of the brightest colleagues I had the pleasure of working with, so much so that "how would Joy approach this" is a question I often I ask myself ! Not only she is amazing when it comes UX and UI, she has a natural talent for User's Journey, focusing how to make it successful and valuable for them through product innovation, branding, and even content production.
