Joanna's love of interiors took root early in her Texas childhood, with a mother who collected mid-century furniture and a father who valued good craftsmanship. After obtaining a graduate degree of Interior Design from Parsons School of Design, Joanna interned with Fox-Nahem, her first exposure to exquisite residential work. She spent four years at Studio Sofield, alongside the brilliant William Sofield. After a year with luxe-modern firm Julie Hillman Design, Joanna established J. Jones Design LLC.
