I'm a multidisciplinary UX designer with a passion for learning and solving real human problems. I believe the best user experiences are those that excite and empower.
I earned my Bachelor of Journalism in Strategic Communication from the University of Missouri with minors in Computer Science and Information Technology. This unique blend of design, storytelling, and technology has shaped me into a versatile designer who loves to think holistically and is able to collaborate seamlessly across diverse teams.
Currently, I'm a Web Designer at PartnerComm where I craft digital experiences for internal employee benefits communication. Having recently completed a User Experience Certificate by the Nielsen Norman Group (NN/g), I'm always exploring new ways to evolve my skillset and push creative boundaries.
When I’m not designing, you can find me hiking, exploring local coffee shops, or reading a good book!
"Joy is the type of creative you want on your team. She solves problems, brainstorms out-of-the-box thinking, and has a passion for producing top level creativity. She knows the UX process and how to adjust based on client feedback and timing, and has led numerous sites from ideation to web launch. Her passion and excitement for web design is infectious and I can only imagine how talented she'll be as she continues to grow."

"Joy is one of my favorite people to work with. She’s creative and smart and knows her way around Figma like no one else. I can rely on her to help with projects and take them to the next level. She’s always looking for new design solutions and doesn't settle for status quo."

"Joy is a true doer — resourceful, determined, and always ready to learn. She is a master of Figma, and when faced with something new, she eagerly embraces the challenge. Her designs are not only elegant but also create seamless, intuitive user experiences. Beyond her incredible skill set, Joy is one of the most thoughtful and kind-hearted people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Any team would be lucky to have her."

“Joy has been a wonderful addition to our team. She consistently impressed me with her ability to learn fast and work independently to produce quality designs for our clients. As a designer, Joy has demonstrated creativity, empathy, and efficiency into her works—including her user journeys, mockups, and presentations. She is a clear communicator, open to feedback, and most importantly, fun to work with and mentor!"
