About

Born in Los Angeles, Joey still calls Southern California home. She lives there with her family and her pint-sized sidekick, Emma, (who firmly believes every creative adventure should include snack breaks).

As far back as she can remember, Joey was certain she'd have three jobs when she grew up. Turns out, the universe got the memo.

Joey began her career as an art director in the advertising world before earning an advanced degree in clinical social work. Her graduate research explored the role of creativity in the lives of at-risk youth,

deepening a lifelong curiosity about the remarkable ways art can help us heal, grow, and connect. For many years, she practiced as a psychotherapist with children and adults.

Today, at the heart of Joey's work as storyteller and artist, is a belief that creativity has power to ignite curiosity, spark meaningful connections, and invite new ways of seeing.
