Words that uplift and empower | Hand-made Lettering Art & Blog by Joy Adan
PORTFOLIO
I’ve been helping people tell their story for over ten years. I write for numerous companies, custom publications and blogs, and have been published in The Catholic Weekly, Practical Parenting, InLife and Capture magazines. I hold a Bachelor in Media and Master of Publishing and am a passionate learner (and practitioner!) in all things digital marketing, SEO, copywriting and blogging.
My work is versatile – I’ve worked with big brands and enterprise-size companies, but the truth is I have a soft spot for small businesses and custom publications. Click the links or images below to view samples of my work or complete this form to get in touch.

Looking for a freelance writer or creative to help you on your next marketing project? Get in touch! Here's some of the nice stuff people I've worked with are saying.
Joy’s passion for her work was evident in every engagement. Her willingness to take the time to explain the reasons for a particular method or style really highlighted to me her love of what she does. There’s no halfway with Joy – what she does, she does very well.
I feel most fortunate to have met Joy Adan, and to have had the benefit of her expertise and thorough, professional training skills during our 1:1 sessions. As an author, connecting with others is vital, and my blog was in serious need of an overhaul. Joy guided me through the steps necessary to creating interesting and stimulating posts,with her relaxed approach to social media- and I thoroughly enjoyed the unleashed creativity that brought. As well as her skills, Joy brings warmth and patience, and as a result, I began to really enjoy what had been a difficult task.
Joy is good on the project management side, always following things up whilst ensuring everyone was on the same page, setting timelines and ownership so that the project could run smoothly. Professional, engaging and friendly in nature she made our collaborative partnership a breeze.
Joy took the time to understand my business needs and those of different stakeholders across the organisation. Joy tackled complex technical concepts and challenging bureaucracy to deliver key messages to our students and academic community. She responds well to feedback and she made herself always available.
Joy has a strong work ethic and is reliable, friendly, intelligent, creative, honest, helpful and diligent. Joy has a lovely personality and I have no hesitation in recommending her personally and professionally.
Joy is expert at being able distil what is essentially techno talk/babble, into a simple, meaningful and understandable message. Joy has provided invaluable advice in massaging and tweaking complex IT knowledge / messages, into quality communication campaigns. These ranged in complexity; from strategic discussion papers, service definition and packaging, to best practice approach in structuring conversations with executives inside or outside of the IT division. It was this very type of advice that resulted in Joy sourcing and managing a multi-week training program for the entire senior and executive management team on effective engagement and communication. If you are looking for an expert communications professional, then I wholeheartedly recommend Joy to you.
Joy was a sheer pleasure to work alongside and an impressive and driven professional. She possesses exceptional talent for writing, which is versatile and adaptable for any context; from technical process documentation to creative and editorial writing. She uses her refined interpersonal and social skills to communicate confidently to her managers, establish trusted relationships with clients and earn the respect of her colleagues, not to mention the careful attention of her readership.
