Meet the Team: Joanne Young

This week, we’re excited to introduce you to Joanne Young – our Co-Producer at Melbourne HQ, and office front runner for both “wittiest person” and “daggiest taste in music”. 

Joanne comes from a varied background, having studied design in her early uni days before making the jump to law and working as an intellectual property lawyer. Now, she’s back in the creative industry and all these unique skills have come together to make her the ultimate co-producer — someone who’s always ready to tackle any of the (often ad-hoc and random) tasks that come up in this role. Whether she’s putting together a presentation deck, vibe checking a complex contract or sharing her hilarious, themed artist Insta-recaps with the team on Slack, Jo brings creativity, sharp insight, and a good dose of humour to everything she does. Full post to get to know Jo at the link!
