A simple blog became a booming business within a year!
Getting this business started almost 20 years ago took a whole lotta hustle — so I know what it’s like! I know how many late nights, long hours — and, let’s face it, occasional cold martinis — go into launching your business, your book, your brand… I’ve done it! I want to help you expand your story because I know what it means to you.
Hello again! I'm Joelle.
I've been an online creative for over 20 years and still love what I do! I'm passionate about bringing a client's ideas to life and don't shy away from a bold approach (you may have noticed). I've helped clients on five continents tell their stories online, whether it's creating their brand design, consulting on their strategy, or developing a website that's mobile, fast, and gorgeous.
Once upon a time, I was an award winning blogger. Oooo, ahhh! My former personal blog, Tenth Muse, won a Bloggie for Best Tagline and was also nominated for Best New Weblog and Weblog of the Year. My former lifestyle blog, Put Down the Donut, was nominated for Best Group Weblog, as well.
In my non-screen time, I'm a mid-century retrophile, jazz enthusiast, bottomless brunch aficionado, karaoke queen, and perpetually seeking the best chilaquiles. I live in 72° and sunny San Diego with my Canadian wife, and our lovably neurotic mini-schnoodle, Marley (or "Moo", as we call him). If you're ever in town, let's get a coffee!
This is where I toot my own horn.
I've had the chance to experience a lot of different things in my career, but these are some of my favorite highlights.
Wiley & Sons published a book I co-wrote, "The IT Girl's Guide to Blogging with Moxie"
The first in a series conceptualized by Wiley & Sons, Blogging with Moxie was intended to cater to the Sex & the City-loving, Cosmo-drinking, female-identified novice blogger demographic popular at the time.
