Joseph’s interest in making things sparked at the age of 4 in his father’s jewelry store, observing in awe as his dad engraved meticulous lettering into jewelry and watches. From that moment on little Joseph was always plotting, tinkering, prying, deciphering, and picking locks to drawers that might contain sweets.
Today Joseph lives in Brooklyn and works at Amazon, where he leads teams and helps create custom campaigns & experiences for brands. His work has been featured by The New York Times, The Guardian, Fast Company, Bloomberg, and The Today Show (among others). He’s always on the hunt for the next creative scheme – or the next cookie. If you have intel on either, feel free to reach out.
