Joy Hodges is the creative force behind Joy Hodges Designs, a full-service interior design studio known for bold, art-driven spaces along Florida’s Gulf Coast and beyond. With decades of experience and a deep passion for design, Joy approaches each project with a painter’s eye, thoughtfully balancing color, texture, and architecture to create interiors that feel both striking and deeply personal. Her work is guided by the belief that great design is more than beautiful. It should reflect the people who live in the space and elevate the way they experience everyday life.

Through a collaborative process and a fearless use of color, Joy has built a reputation for interiors that are layered, expressive, and entirely unique. Her mission is to create bold, intentional spaces that tell a story while blending artistry with functionality. Outside the design studio, Joy brings that same focus and determination to another passion: competitive bodybuilding, where she has earned several wins. Whether in design or competition, her discipline, creativity, and drive continue to shape everything she does.
