Joy has been great to work with over the course of this project! She is an excellent leader and provided my team with timely and thoughtful guidance. It would be a pleasure to work with her again in the future!

An outstanding mentor who consistently inspired and guided students with enthusiasm and expertise. Students frequently praised the El Locale experience, noting that it was not only engaging but also deeply educational. Many expressed that they gained significant insights and practical skills, attributing much of their learning to the supportive and enriching environment fostered by the mentor.

Working with El Locale was a great experience! Joy was communicative, set clear expectations, and made the project feel fun!

It was a pleasure working with Joy on the El Locale project. She was very supportive and responsive. I can't wait to see the product launch in the near future!

This was an amazing experience and Joy was a pleasure to work with. I’m excited to see the end result of the collaborative effort!

Our students had the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in cybersecurity risk assessment, vulnerability analysis, and security best practices while delivering meaningful solutions to support your organization's security posture.

I had a wonderful time working with Joy on this project. I liked that she took the time to understand our skill level and assign us with tasks that we were comfortable completing. But, she also trusted our work ethic and let us jump right into the work which was challenging but rewarding.

It was a great experience working on this project.

Working with Joy and El-Locale was a very rewarding experience. I learned a lot about UI/UX design principles, Figma, the business development process, and working on technical teams.

This project is such a great concept, and I'm glad to work a part of it! The employers were very kind and accommodating. I can't wait to see what the product becomes.

Great time working with Apex. Your timely response is greatly appreciated.

Kind, reasonable and clear in her expectations. A pleasure to work with.

Great organization, very cooperative and flexible. Great mission statement too. Hope our work has helped their business.

Joy was an incredible leader and mentor with our student groups. She provided honest and thorough feedback that ensured the students got what they needed and were able to grow. Highly recommend working with Joy.

Fantastic project, very original startup idea for students to work with.

Working with Joys and Société has been easy and productive. She is easy to reach and quick to respond. She was very transparent with company data and provided support in a timely manner!

Thank you for the opportunity Joy! Best of luck on Apex Social and I hope our work serves as a starting point to help overall user satisfaction. Happy Holidays!

I enjoyed working with Joy. She explained the project, gave us details we needed and contacts to set up appointments with the staff. She was supportive and pleasant to work with. Apex Social was a wonderful company to work for. The IDP with Joy and Apex Social has been a great experience for me as a UX/UI Designer!

Great learning experience! Had access to users, check-ins with stakeholders, and even collaborated with the developper.

The experience was fine.

I got to work with Joy Curth on a project for her company, El Locale. Overall the experience was positive. She was open to new ideas that the team had and was great to work with when it came to designing new screens for her company. There were a bunch of positives but one area that could be improved is the communication with the company. At times, there was a lack of clarity around expectations and needs. But overall, this was a great experience!

Working with Joy Curth and the El Locale team on their UI/UX enhancement project was an absolute pleasure. Joy's professionalism and ambition stood out throughout the collaboration. She had a clear vision for the project, coupled with a substantial amount of groundwork already prepared, which streamlined the design process. Her constructive feedback and openness to innovative solutions created an environment where creativity thrived.
