Joie
Connecting Story and Space Through Unified Design
Born from a shared belief that story and space should be designed as one.
We built Joie as a collaborative studio where scenic and lighting design evolve together—transforming moments into meaningful, unified experiences.
Joie delivers fully integrated scenic and lighting design—crafted together from the start.
Founded by longtime collaborators Leah Mazur and Martha Carter, Joie brings two design perspectives into one unified process. Our combined portfolio spans theater, opera, dance, immersive performance, and live entertainment across the U.S. and abroad.
We don’t pass ideas back and forth—we shape them together. That means fewer revisions, clearer communication, and a stronger, more cohesive visual experience. Directors and producers trust us to deliver thoughtful design that supports the story, the process, and the people behind it.
​
With Joie, you don’t get two designers. You get one design team, one conversation, and one vision—fully aligned.
