My name is Joy, and it is so lovely to meet you. I am the founder and heart behind Joy Johnston Design. Let me start with the most important thing about working with me - I genuinely care about my clients and their homes. 

For as far back as I can remember, interior design has been part of my life. My mother and grandmother were both naturally talented at creating beautiful and welcoming homes.

Growing up in a military family meant many moves for my family, but we always found excitement at the thought of decorating our next home no matter how difficult the transition to a new place may have been. Some of my best memories are when we would simply stay home to rearrange the furniture and decorate.

These experiences shaped my belief that well-designed environments ground us and offer a sense of comfort. It also taught me how crucial it is to listen deeply to clients’ needs, as that’s where great design truly starts.

For me, design is more than just making things look beautiful—it’s about crafting environments that tell a story, reflect authenticity, and enhance your everyday life.

My philosophy is rooted in empathy. I start every project by truly listening—getting to know my clients’ lifestyle and what brings them joy. I believe a home should work for the people who live in it, blending functionality with beauty in a way that feels effortless and natural. I view design as an essential part of life and work hard to create spaces that nurture and inspire.

I also believe design is a collaboration. Your input and vision are at the heart of what I do. Together, we’ll create a space that feels uniquely yours—a place where you can live, grow, and make memories.

Let’s design a space that feels like home, together.
