Joy Zou has demonstrated excellence in animation practice throughout her studies in the Animation Program, including her final project. Joy took on a student co-director role in an industry project, creating an original animated music video for legendary German metal band TANKARD. Working with her fellow students, she made essential contributions in multiple areas of the production, helping to lead the project to a very high-quality result which has now been screened in over 20 international festivals and won two international awards.

Beyond her individual achievements, Joy has been committed to building a sense of community, inclusion, and belonging within the Program. Her instrumental role in the establishment of the WeAnimate Club shows her dedication to creating a supportive environment for her peers.

Joy has completed a number of design projects for me, including graphic design and most recently creating a Mandala outline for a collaborative art project.  Joy is a delight to work with. She is always professional, accommodating of feedback and communicative. Joy has been able to approach design briefs creatively and her work is of a consistently high quality and always delivered ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend Joy for your next design project!

Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Joy Zou for the important component of my newly established business, namely the branding. From start to finish this proved to be a professional and enjoyable process with a great outcome. If you are seeking a design service that combines creativity, professionalism and outstanding client service look no further than Joy Zou. Joy proved to be responsive, accommodating, genuinely cared and understood the need for the project success. She consistently delivered on time and actively listened to our needs. We are thrilled with the outcome and the associated branding.

Joy is an extremely capable tutor, who is compassionate and caring. She has gone above and beyond in considering my daughter, Darcy’s needs. Her ability to connect and inspire Darcy has been very much appreciated. I cannot recommend Joy highly enough!
