Joanna Mahoney is a Graphic Designer on the Creative & Interactive Media team at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. For the past year, Joanna and her Museum colleagues have worked hard to produce meaningful digital content for members and visitors to engage with from the comfort of their own homes. She uses her illustration, motion design, and hand-lettering skills whenever possible throughout her professional work and in her personal passion projects.


Before completing her Master’s degree in Graphic Design at Suffolk University, Joanna earned her undergraduate degree in Theater Studies at Emerson College, where she learned the ins and outs of designing set and prop pieces for theater and film. That work required problem-solving through detailed research and conceptual design thinking – an approach that she carries with her into her graphic design career.

When she is not designing, you can find Joanna listening to true crime podcasts, playing complicated board games with friends, or spending time with her rescue dog, Ozzy. A portfolio of her work can be viewed at joannamahoney.com.
