How did a graphic design student find her way onto a network cooking show?
Rewind to Joyner’s days as a student at the University of Lynchburg where she was studying graphic design. In one of her classes, Joyner was asked to make an entire branding identity. Her finished assignment was a brand guide for a fictional company called Mrs. Joy’s Absolutely Fabulous Treats.
Joyner earned an A+ in the class that semester, she noted proudly, on top of two ADDY awards from the American Advertising Awards competition, the world’s largest advertising competition. Little did she know, that project was only the beginning of her baking journey.
