A message from the founder.

I’ve always loved art. Music helped me find my way. It was the first job that I had after college and helped orient me in the world. I went on to serve local communities through ministry and in higher-education, but my passion for branding and creative forms of storytelling and marketing have been a part of the entire journey. After 10 years in leadership roles across the United States, I decided to come home to create stronger communities through Joy Ethic.

Joy Ethic is a creative network birthed out of my journey as an independent freelancer and the belief that you can always find joy if you are looking for it. Joy is the thing we are building our entire life around. We work on projects that bring a spark of life and energy into the world. We work with individuals and organizations focused on building stronger communities. If your creative project is inspiring and will help make the world better place — Joy Ethic will help bring your vision to life.
