Hey there, I’m Tony Joe—a UX/UI designer, founder, and musician with a genuine love for creating and an obsession with details.

​

Design has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Back in middle school, I was sketching out T-shirt designs for Earth Day trying to raise funds for non-profits. In high school, I was drafting concepts for drum major uniforms using the internet as a guide for my creativity. Before I knew it, I was building websites for punk bands and small startups—turning ideas into something real. That’s when I knew design wasn’t just something I enjoyed; it was my future.

​

I’ve worn a lot of hats along the way. I’ve been a touring musician, keeping the road alive while running a business around sound engineering and live venues.

I’ve been a teacher, showing students how music encompasses life skills that transfer in to every area of learning and builds responsibility and teamwork. Later I would take those lessons into teaching  business and technology. I'm certified in all three content areas.

As a fine arts department head, I managed and helped an award winning team of professionals, ensuring content area growth and proving that no matter the age, the lessons of responsibility and teamwork still apply.

And now, as a UX designer and founder of a small business, I help clients grow by making design both functional and meaningful.

Oh, and I still play in a few jazz bands in the Austin area as well. Gotta keep the chops up!

​

My journey hasn’t been traditional, but that’s what makes my perspective unique. I understand how all the moving parts of a business fit together, and I bring that energy into every project I take on. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that great design isn’t just about how something looks—it’s about how it works for the people using it.
