If there is one word to describe Joanna Williams it would be COLOR.
She is bright and full of light, her entire being resonates color, from the clothes she wears to the beautiful shop she owns, to the home she lives in, it’s all vibrant and full of color.
Joanna has the most incredible collection of textiles and travels around the world in a way that we could only dream of. Thanks for being my first favorite friend!! We’re so excited.
