A lifelong resident of South Trenton, Joseph is a 17-year veteran of the Graphic Arts industry. Starting work in the field at the age of 20, he has worked in all aspects of the design field including news/media, pharmaceutical advertising and most recently as an Award-Winning Senior Designer for New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, New Jersey’s largest financier of Affordable Housing where he manages the Marketing and Communications department that performs graphic design and media related duties for over 300 people and nearly a dozen divisions and departments.

In 2007 and 2008, Joseph received several awards including multiple Graphic Design USA Awards for his work. He was also presented with the NCSHA (National Council of State Housing Agencies) 2008 Program Excellence Award for the 2008 New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency Annual Report where he successfully managed to win despite dozens of other HFA’s (Housing Finance Agencies) vying for the same accolade.

Growing up, Joseph was heavily involved in the underground music scene where he not only published and successfully distributed thousands of copies of my music based “fanzine” called Nevermore but also created a record label to distribute the bands he felt most passionate about. Nevermore Records released several vinyl and CD titles including the Tie That Binds cd compilation that included national acts such as Lifetime, which sold nearly 5,000 copies.

A founding member, Creative Director and Chairperson of Trenton’s wildly successful 24-hour art/music/food/film festival, Art All Night-Trenton, which began in 2007, Joseph's logo design and branding have become notable fixtures in the City of Trenton as well as the surrounding areas. This has helped propel Art All Night-Trenton into a very successful, volunteer-based event with 2011 bringing almost 13,000 people to the annual show. Under his tutelage, Joseph managed to increase attendance by 5,000 and profits by nearly 200%.

In 2011, Joseph was elected as the Chairperson of Art All Night - Trenton. With this he brings his 17 years of experience in advertising/marketing as well as my knowledge of Graphic Design, Printing Services, Website Design, Art Direction and Event Planning.
