Since joining KSS Architects in 1997, Joe has managed the firm's largest and most complex projects successfully. His work in the office coupled with his on-site project management experience allows him to test the validity of design ideas developed in the office in the field. He enjoys unifying diverse design ideas into a harmonious entity without allowing them to spin into chaos during construction. He promotes the understanding and mastery of tools in the profession, the elements of program and building, and the implications of technology and construction in preparation for design.

Growing up with a father who was an electrical engineer, Joe realized in grade school that if you built things a certain way, they held together; if you did not follow certain principles, they fell apart. From then, Joe understood that the answer to every problem lies within it. As a result, he decided to become an architect.

Joe is also drawn to the field of pattern design. Inspired by the likes of Eames and Vignelli, he co-founded the graphic design company Trimorphos.com in 2000. His designs have been published in The New York Times, Greetings etc., and numerous trade journals.
