Joy is also a three-time cookbook author, editor in chief of the biannual Joy the Baker magazine, and editor in chief of Camp Joy, a zine inspired by Joy's viral backyard camping and cooking video series. On any given day she can be found with a bag of cookies and a pound of butter in her purse. Tatiana Kamshilina is a freelance illustrator and animator based in Russia.
