Welcome to our staff picks series! Next up is Lucy, our Assistant Product Developer. Read on to find out a little more about Lucy and the Joanie pieces she’s loving right now.

Find out about the people behind our brand and their roles at Joanie, as well as the pieces they’re currently coveting from our collection.
Meet Lucy, Assistant Product Developer
Hi Lucy! Tell us about your role at Joanie - what does a typical day look like?
As an Assistant Product Developer, every day is different. One day, I’ll be designing accessories, and the next, I’ll be throwing around a parcel to test it’s durability. I love the variety - it keeps it interesting, and I’ve learnt so much in the short amount of time I’ve been working for Joanie.
What’s the best bit about your job?
I get to do what I love (design and product development) but in an environmentally-friendly way. It’s hard to find that in any industry - especially the fashion industry - so I feel really lucky that our Brand Director, Lucy, is so dedicated to making sure Joanie genuinely sustainable.
Can you describe yourself in three words?
Positive, Determined, Eco-conscious.
How would you define your personal style?
I would say my style is quite natural - lots of florals, earthy colours, and flowy pieces. My friends always joke that I’m always dressed for summer, regardless of the temperature outside. I also own a lot of cow print, haha - that’s kind of become my signature style.
Staff Picks: Lucy's Favourites
I’ve picked out five of my favourite pieces available on the site at the moment – some of these I have already, and others are definitely on my wish list!
Ilkley Ditsy Floral Print Headscarf
Ilkley is the first style I designed solely on my own. It’s quite a nostalgic style for me, because I lived in headscarfs as a child.
Dawn O’Porter X Joanie - Cosmo Oversized Mushroom Print Cardigan
This cardigan is so cosy. I love that I can throw it on with a simple outfit, and it instantly makes it more fun. Joanie Knitwear is always so soft as well!
Priya Black Floral Print Puff Sleeve Midi Dress
Comfort is key when I’m choosing what to wear, and this is probably the most comfortable dress I own. It sits really nicely, and I love the way it moves when I walk. It’s a great dress for any situation.
Jerry Serpents And Apples Print Jumpsuit
I absolutely love the print on this. I’ve ordered one to wear when I'm working at the pop-up shop, and I can’t wait to wear it!
Filey Floral Print Velvet Pouch Bag
This bag is such a staple for the Christmas party season. It’s the perfect size to fit anything you could need in it, and it looks effortlessly glamorous at the same time.
