Role Description
Founded by Shona Joy Thatcher in 2000, the Shona Joy brand is powered by a passionate close-knit team, grounded by a mutual love of designing for real women, creating dresses for celebrating life in and building a business we can all be proud of.
Our collections embody a neutral colour palette and natural fabrications that signify a clear Australian identity – always with a hint of our signature 70s bohemian glamour.
