Hi. I’m Vanessajoie, a visual designer and illustrator from the Bay Area!
I’ve always known myself to be a creative person. When I was 3, my dad woke up to a Sharpied outline of himself on the mattress. I apparently traced him in his sleep.
I graduated from San Jose State University in 2017 with a BFA in Graphic Design. A California autumn kid at heart, I love the sun just as much as I love crisp leaves and Halloween.
When I’m not designing or drawing for Joiebooth, I enjoy writing and watching Filipino soap operas, or teleseryes, with my parents.
You can find a short version of my resume below. Please email me if you’d like to yip yap about design, art, and/or your favorite soap opera.
