Joe has designed masks and puppets for theatre companies around the world. Full-face character and half-face commedia masks, large parade puppets, intricate shadow puppets, animal masks and headdresses.

As a set designer, Joe has created environments for large and small scale theatre productions. His designs emphasize that sets are characters themselves not just background decor and should be integrated with the actors’ play.

His prop designs are meant to encourage an actor’s creativity, to use props to express thoughts and emotions, display a skill and create powerful moments of visual theatre.
