About

Hi, I’m Joy Rivera, a Freelance Communication Designer and rising Communication Design senior at Kutztown University who is passionate about Advertising, Art Direction, and Branding. Outside of class work and prior design roles, I’m a published illustrator of the coloring books Let It Bloom and Pa La Playa (To the Beach!). Whether it’s a campaign, branding, or something completely outside the box, I love creating work that connects with people. I’m always open for freelance gigs, creative collabs, or agency opportunities! Industries: Advertising, Art Direction, Branding. Portfolio: https://joy-rivera.squarespace.com
