owner + principal DESIGNER
Passionate about transforming spaces and bringing ideas to life, Sydney has always had the heart of both a designer and an entrepreneur.
What originally began as what she believed would be an engineering path evolved into a design-driven career. Sydney holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design from Purdue University, along with a double minor in Construction Management and Building Information Modeling (BIM). With experience spanning both the residential and commercial sectors, she brings a well-rounded, technically grounded, and creatively led perspective to every project.
In a world paused by the global pandemic, Sydney answered a quiet call she's felt all her life to create—taking a leap of faith that led to the founding of this creative studio. What began as a single project soon unfolded into another, and then another, each grounded in her formal training in interior architectural design. Over time, the studio evolved to encompass larger, highly customized residential projects for clients who value craftsmanship, detail, and thoughtful, enduring design. Today, Sydney Joy Studio is recognized for its body of high-end residential work, now rooted in Northeast Indiana.
Sydney, her husband, and their two children reside in one of their town's historic neighborhoods where they call a charming 1940s Colonial home.
When she’s not designing, Sydney loves traveling to new places with her husband and kids, spending time with her people, or curating vintage treasures through a little thrift therapy.
