Marketing Manager

I have worked with Joyce on several projects now and am always thrilled with her work. She not only helped me design a new logo and a set of brochures, she offers invaluable recommendations on how to take my business to the next level. She is highly creative and a seasoned professional I can always call upon and rely on. I'd heartily recommend her!

Linda Barrett

Marketing / PR / Editorial

Together Joyce and I designed a beautiful book. What started out as a basic book project grew to photographic narrative with images on almost every page. Joyce’s talents with graphics and photography shine through. The book is eye-catching and has received many accolades for its design. Over the year it took to complete the project, she was timely and diligent, always returning drafts to me quickly.
