Hey, I’m Joelle.
I help organizations craft clear, engaging communications and build meaningful digital experiences that connect with their audience.
My Approach
Strategic
I lead with strategy to ensure every message has purpose. Whether it’s a campaign, internal announcement, or content for dealer enablement, I align communication goals with broader business objectives. My work bridges creativity with insight—so audiences not only receive information, but also understand and act on it.
Empathetic
Great communication starts with empathy. I take the time to understand my audience—whether it’s internal teams or external partners—so I can meet them where they are. I shape messages that feel human, relevant, and clear, helping people feel informed, supported, and empowered.

Not at all! I collaborate with teams across time zones via Zoom, Miro, and the occasional meme. If you’re local to West Michigan, coffee’s on me; otherwise, virtual lattes it is.

Most engagements fall into one of three buckets:
Quick Fix (2-3 weeks): audit + recommendations

Yes—light to medium design (think decks, social graphics, simple web mock-ups) is in-house. For heavyweight branding or motion, I tap a vetted network of designers and manage the hand-offs.
