From our client to you, here's what we have created, a look so individual and one of a kind just as the family who lives there.

"Where to begin, what can I say...Joe is an artist, a craftsman, his imagination and his ability to make the physical, ethereal is his greatest gift. As our designer, Joe has become a friend and we are graced with his magic every day. His work is so unique, we are always reminded of him in our home.

Joe created a home we could never have imagined, and yet it feels so much like home. Our home embraces us each time we walk in. The warmth of the walls reminiscent of Old Venice, the handmade resin doors that transport the light throughout our loft apartment, the bookcase Joe created is so powerful and uplifting all at once, our massive bed that was built in pieces and put together in our room, our handmade rug is a silk wonderland, all of which Joe designed and fabricated for us.

Joe created a large painting for my daughter's room. The painting is childlike, wondrous and captivating all at once. My seven-year-old daughter swears that she painted it with Joe. When I shared this bit of comedy with Joe, he laughed and then said in all earnest, 'of course she did, she was with me the whole time I painted it.'"

"My experience with Joe Ginsberg was wonderful.  I was both impressed with Joe's expertise and satisfied with his service.  He provided several design possibilities for my apartment and helped customize them to both suit my taste and work within my budget.  He worked on my behalf when my superintendent had questions and helped streamline the entire process, from renovation to decoration.  Joe went above and beyond what I expected, and the service he provided was well worth the cost.  I can't recommend him enough."
