At Brandeis, Joseph designed several shows including Major Barbara, The Misanthrope, Lo, She Comes, and The Sty of the Blind Pig.

While there, he also had the opportunity to meet and associate with Tony award winning designers Dennis Parichy and Chris Perry. After finishing his education, Joseph spent the next several years freelancing as a Designer, Carpenter and Electrician in Boston, Indianapolis and Los Angeles.

During this time, he designed such productions as My Left Breast, Asher’s Command, Les Miserables, No Niggers, No Jews, No Dogs and Little Shop of Horrors. In 2004, Joseph moved to Utah and began to work and teach at Utah Valley University as Scene Shop Foreman and Resident Lighting Designer. He has continued freelancing in the area.
