Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoyce Rice is a multidisciplinary designer and educator with 10+ years crafting comics, interactive graphics, and games that translate complex journalism and advocacy into engaging visual stories. As a lecturer at California College of the Arts and co-founder of Symbolia, she blends academic research in game design with hands-on studio practice at Teeny Robots to solve sticky engagement problems for clients like PBS and Vox Media. Her work—praised by Newsweek, Fast Company, and CityLab—focuses on procedural and user-interactive comics built explicitly for digital spaces. A former Journalism Leadership Transformation Fellow, she explores the intersection of game mechanics and news design to deepen audience connection. Based in Chicago, she brings a rare mix of editorial art direction, production know-how, and playful experimentalism (summed up on GitHub as "bunch of crows disguised as a woman") to every project.
