Joseph holds a degree in animation from the School of Visual Arts. There, he received the 2004 Dusty Film Award for Excellence in Stop Motion. In 1990, he took home first place at Cub Scouts Pack 550’s Pinewood Derby. In 1991, he was unjustly disqualified from the race. He’s been working in creative design, production, and advertising since… honestly, it’s been too long.

Joseph loves making work people actually like—work that’s entertaining, memorable, and worthy of the audience’s time. If you’re stuck in a crowded subway car and forced to look at something Joseph made, he wants it to be the best subway ride of your life.
