I have to be honest here...I hadn't heard of Joy Yoon before the Carbon Festival! However, it didn't take long within my pre-event research to become enthralled in the engaging voice and vision she shares in her work at www.joyyoon.com.
Joy's presentation at the Carbon forums produced some of the most poignant commentary on the current state of media and publication heard over the weekend. She's a strong and passionate believer that anyone publishing content should be true to themselves, should work for the passion and love of their work (not the almighty $$$), and that if you work hard enough good things can happen.
She's worked hard at a number of careers to reach the success she has now earned, and her look and her choice of shoes seems to mirror her personality; The broken in All Stars represent someone who's not afraid to put in the hard yards, and respect that the fact that something done simply and well and cannot be beaten. And in my opinion neither can Joy's advice, it's bang on so it seems fitting to end with this gem from her site; Read something. Write something. Question everything. Drink some water.
