It's not often that a member of the Web Communications staff moves on but it's a sad day when it happens. Although it hurts us a lot to say goodbye to Joy Reed (opens new window) we are happy that she is moving to a great opportunity at Media Genesis. Joy has been a Web graphic designer (opens new window) with us for 3+ years and has made an amazing impact on the user experience and the quality of work we produce here.

Instrumental to the design of these sites:

• and hundreds more we haven't written about

As you can see from the extensive list above, her eye for design, user experience and the university brand have made it's way into everything she touched here.

It's never fun to say good bye to an amazing person. Joy will truly be missed. Her contributions to the department, the Web, and the university have been second to none.

What now?

You can follow Joy on Twitter at @jedijoy (opens new window). We will be reposting her position shortly and will follow up with a blog post to announce it. Stay tuned.
