"Joy took a dark, dismal, medicinal space and turned it into a bright, joyful, welcome orthodontic home with creative flow and a welcoming esthetic for our team and for our patients. Every single person that walks in our front door comments on how beautiful our space is. We have even met some people who were treated in the space before, when it was a primary care facility, and they could not believe it was the same building! Joy is a very good listener and incorporated all our requests into the space miraculously.  She was honest and realistic and supportive of our vision, all staying within our budget. We could not say enough about her!"

"I went to Joy with very specific ideas that needed to be melded together to create a home. She exceeded every expectation with her knowledge and innate ability to integrate ideas into a cohesive design. Would recommend Joy without hesitation!"

"Working with Joy was a pleasure. When we started down our house building path, we didn’t really know where to begin. She took the time and our input to create a beautiful custom home. Building a new home can be an intensive and stressful process and Joy’s expertise made it a much more palatable experience. We’re thrilled with the result and would highly recommend Joy Foster Designs to anyone!"

"Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Joy on a number of projects. These include Joy’s own home which she not only designed but did the architectural drawings* from the foundation to the kitchen cabinets. Her knowledge and immaculate attention make her a pleasure to work with. Could not recommend her more highly!"

"Joy is so easy to work with and so patient with those of us who don’t have her creative vision. She has a great eye for detail. She designed my finished garage, entryway, and screened porch so attractively that I had unplanned work done on the house so it would be worthy of them! My entire house has been transformed and I could not be more pleased!"

"Speaking as a cabinet maker and a business owner, I have been completely thrilled to work with Joy. Though I have worked with many designers in the Portland area, I must say that Joy stands out in her areas of expertise as an excellent source of great ideas and knowledge. I appreciate her creativity tempered with a vision for what’s practical. She has been a “joy’ to work with!"

"Joy has been such a key factor in the success of my business this year. Many of my biggest clients are remodeling and reworking existing spaces and I’ve enjoyed being able to call upon Joy and her incredible eye and drawing talents to put some of the most difficult ideas to paper. She is a lovely woman inside and out! It’s truly a pleasure working with her."

"We have worked with Joy on three major house projects and are about to begin our fourth. We would not think of calling anyone else. Joy has a unique ability to see space as a puzzle to be solved uniquely for each of her clients. To the point that if our carpenter suggests a change, we always loop back. Yes, Joy has the standard technical training but what makes her succeed is her unbelievable great eye,her constant search for new ideas, and her ability to make a space highly functional as well as interesting and beautiful."
