My name is Joia and I’m a Kansas City based Graphic Designer and Illustrator available to hire! My whole motto is making things as bold and out there as possible so if that’s your thing, then I’m your gal!
Here are some examples of my work!

KC's Upcycle Revival Project (2025)
This project is advertising for a fictional event that includes a poster, stickers, and a small booklet about the event.
Chit Chat Cafe Branding Project (2025)
As one of my very first graphic design projects in 2021, I took it upon myself recently to flesh out this simple idea of a menu and turn it into a whole branding scheme for the fictional cafe.
Self Branding (2025)
Creating my own personal branding was so much fun for me! It let me actually think about myself for once and what I like for a change! As you can see, this is what inspired my entire design of my portfolio!
Jazz In The Valley Poster (2024)
This project was for a free annual campus event that featured two jazz groups to promote Kansas City's rich jazz history. I took a lot of inspiration from vintage looking items as well as researching a lot about what sort of jazz posters looked like in older times. This took me a bit to figure out just how I wanted to design it but I think in the long run, I love how it turned out!
Propaganda Poster (2024)
This project was to make an infographic poster about voting around the time we were voting on who would be our president of the USA. I chose to center my topic around propaganda and list out a least four types of the many ones you can encounter in your everyday life. The color choice was to somewhat micmic the American Flag but I added a bit of pink (mostly because pink is one of my favorite colors) to balance out the cool tones.
Type Specimen Book (2023)
This project was one of the first ones that let me explore and wrap my mind around what spreads are and how to effectively make a book layout for something. I enjoyed making this type specimen because I've never seen anyone else make one for this font specifically and I had a lot of fun exploring different grids and columns!
On The Grid Poster (2023)
This project helped me explore creating a very unique, decorative font to use as the main headliner for this piece. I had lots of fun letting my creativity loose and especially with my color choices.
Please get in touch with me directly for questions regarding my work, commissions, or project proposals! I look forward to connecting with you! Thank you for choosing me as your illustrator/graphic designer!
