After months of discussion, planning, and drafting our partnership group decided we needed a professional graphic designer to bring our vision to life. Our experience with Joelyn was wonderful. She heard all our concerns and dreams and brought them to life visually with more options and insights than we ever anticipated. She was responsive, efficient, and an excellent communicator. We are very happy with our final product, and only wish we had hired her sooner! -Alicia Dunlap, The Highland Cow (2026)

"I am excited to recommend Joelyn to anyone interested in the artwork she provides. In my case I had a vision in mind and had a lot of things I wanted expressed in my art project / logo. She was exceedingly patient with me as we worked through the process. I was thrilled with every step as the vision came to life. She also added to the project offering more creative ideas and creating beautiful options that I did not know I wanted until I saw them come to life. The whole process was professional, creative and engaging. I am so happy with my final works of art and I recommend her skills to anyone interested in having their vision come to life." - Jesse, Poser Jay (2026)

"I had the pleasure of working with Joelyn in two different roles over the years, and in both experiences she consistently stood out for her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to producing high-quality work. We first worked together when we were coworkers supporting franchise marketing efforts. Joelyn played a key role in helping franchisees with marketing materials, communications, and project execution. She was extremely detail-oriented and always ensured projects were completed accurately and efficiently. One project that especially stands out was a very complex drive-thru menu board initiative that involved extensive coordination, organization, and attention to detail. Joelyn handled the many moving pieces exceptionally well and helped keep the project on track from start to finish. I later had the opportunity to work with Joelyn again when she worked for me supporting food photography and photo shoots. Once again, she demonstrated the same strong work ethic and professionalism I had experienced years earlier. She was punctual, respectful, highly organized, and always attentive to even the smallest details to ensure everything came together seamlessly during shoots. Joelyn is someone you can truly rely on. She brings a positive attitude, strong organizational skills, and a high level of care to everything she works on. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is dependable, detail-oriented, and a pleasure to work with." - Rachel Esch, Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea - & - Busch's Fresh Food Market (2026)

"Joelyn has the rare combination of being wonderfully creative, but also has a tremendous eye for detail. We created many technical documents together and her ability to not only quickly visually create my input I gave her, but provide additional choices that often elevated the overall work. Her thoughtful and empathic nature made working with her a pleasure." - Tonya, Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea (2024)

"During my time as Interim Marketing Director at Busch’s, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Joelyn, who came highly recommended by the eCommerce Manager. We hired her to manage a series of large-scale product and lifestyle photoshoots. Joelyn has a friendly disposition and a diverse skill set that addressed this critical need in the Marketing Department, helping us deliver on high-priority business objectives. Not only are her photography, graphic design, and photo editing abilities impressive, but she also demonstrates meticulous attention to detail and takes direction effortlessly, making herself an asset from the start. Working with Joelyn was a delight, and I fully intend to collaborate with her on future projects." - Cate, Busch's Fresh Food Market(2024)
