Fire Joy Studios
Though only established in 2024, Fire Joy Studios has been germinating in the founder, Francisco’s heart for some time.
Years of podcasting with his friend Paul on the Retro Rewind Podcast, and dabbling in video and board game design, revealed Francisco’s dormant passion—a desire to see the meeting of strangers spark into friendships, and ignite joyful communities. To harbor this kinships, Francisco formed Fire Joy Studios as a hub for the multiple creations he is stewarding, and the communities they coalesce.
