Hello there now, I’m Joseph and this is where I grew up:
…in Toronto. The most formative experience for me was undoubtedly given to me at summer camp, Camp Shomria, in east Ontario. These are some of the most important people in my life:
It was there that I got my first my first opportunity to design games, write plays, organize events, and to teach. From then on informal education has been a dominant theme in my life. Separately, but not unrelated, I always wanted to be an inventor. I independently came up with the flying car before I was even 12. Some say I peaked early.
Since I left Toronto after high school, I’ve lived in Ottawa, Tel Aviv, and now New York, studying Industrial Design and Liberal Arts, as well as working at a design firm in Israel, and a number of educational institutions in NYC. Here are some of the annoying 12 year olds I taught:
I’ve done a lot of traveling, and that’s been a major source of inspiration for me. The picture at the top is from my recent trip to France and the three below are inspiring details I captured in Berlin, Beijing, and Granada.
My product design portfolio is available through coroflot, but there is nothing there from after 2010.
Can’t tell which is your first, middle, and last name…
