About

Brand-led, ideas-based design

I create designs that capture a brand’s essence and communicate it clearly and memorably. Originality and clarity are key – it’s not just about making something visually appealing, but ensuring that the design is rooted by strong ideas, so that the message resonates with your audience.

From national brands to local organisations

I’ve had a fantastic journey in the world of design over the past two decades; building my skills and experience with big brands at top creative agencies, and then bringing that expertise back to my local community. This experience gives me a strong edge in bringing a polished, professional approach to local businesses.

My mission when I launched Creative Joy in 2009 was simple: to offer top-tier design to local organisations, without the hefty costs often associated with big agencies.

Client-focused with a collaborative spirit

Working with business owners and marketing managers, I begin each project with a clear understanding of what’s needed. By taking the time to understand my clients’ businesses and their objectives from the start, I can create designs that truly reflect their values and goals and ultimately appeals to their target audience.

“An incredibly positive experience”
“We have found Joy’s work to be exceptional”

Client feedback is such an important part of the design process, and something I actively encourage. It’s how I refine the design to make sure it aligns perfectly with their vision and this approach has led to many long-term relationships.

A network of trusted local specialists

This means I can bring in the right expertise for each project, without compromising on quality or increasing costs unnecessarily. From photography to website development through to copywriting and print, my clients benefit from a full creative service that is reliable, flexible and cost-efficient.
