About.

Joe Human is a young interior designer based out of Florida and New York, with projects up and down the east coast and now expanding into Southeast Asia and Dubai. He came from humble beginnings, his father a builder and his mother a true maker of all things “home”. He spent his days exploring his rural neighborhood and designing then destroying Lego. This combination of exploration, destruction, and creation was the foundation of his business. Before that could happen, he sharpened his practical skills at a large corporate architecture firm for 7 years in his home state, Idaho. He attributes his strong organizational skills, keen eye for detailed construction drawings, and a work ethic centered around smashing goals. What he lacked was personal client interactions, a sense of fun and the joy of destruction followed by a detailed design. Setting his sights on bigger and better things, his wife and himself made the leap to New York City in 2012. Here his senses were overloaded with creativity and details, unmatched eye candy and inspiration were at his fingertips, a clientele needing a wide array of services for all types of properties, and a whole myriad of makers and artisans. In 2015, he started his own business aptly named ‘Designs by Human’. In NYC, his unique style came into focus. Just as his vast mixture of work experiences, childhood passions and locations blend into a unique skill set, so his style tells of a similar oxymoronic blend of aesthetics. Exploring a mixture of everything good from a vast variety of styles and eras to create something beautiful, unique, and welcoming; sourcing from manufacturers from all over the world, and consorting with makers to bring all that is “Designs by Human” to life. In 2020, Joe Human, left Manhattan for the sunny shores of Florida. Where he continues to hone his unbridled style, expanding it to the sunny shores of the Gulf Coast.

Design inspiration can be found in everything which is why Joe loves to be out in the mountains with his wife on his bike or in the pits of his secret obsession with nitro-fueled drag racing.
