Claire Barber, Founder

Will and Joy were my grandparents. They were also, without question, two of the biggest personalities I’ve ever known. These two words encapsulate everything about the values I have built this business to stand for: warmth, integrity, and hard work done properly.

For nearly twenty years I built a career in corporate advertising, working with some of the world’s most demanding clients. That experience, in delivery, precision and truly understanding what someone needs, informs every client relationship at Will & Joy.

A lifelong passion for making brought me back to the craft I’ve loved since childhood. Trained under Victoria Hammond at Master Soft Furnishers, one of the most respected names in the industry, my approach combines traditional techniques with an exacting eye for detail and a commitment to beautiful, considered results.

Will & Joy is a tribute to the trades, the makers and the working hands that came before us.
