I worked with Joelle on furnishing my 1-bedroom apartment and appreciated her ability to find unique pieces that blended my personal style with a modern twist. She was thoughtful in accommodating my lifestyle needs, especially by selecting a stylish and functional desk that fits perfectly in my living room. The process did involve quite a bit of online interaction, which wasn’t my favorite, and there were moments where things felt a bit more complex than expected. However, Joelle was available to guide me through it, and the end result speaks for itself. For those looking for a balance between style and practicality, it's worth keeping an open mind about timelines and budgets to get the most out of the process. More...

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for recognizing the care and effort we put into finding unique pieces that reflected your personal style. We truly enjoyed the challenge of working within a reduced budget, especially when others may have declined, and we're glad that the final design met your expectations. As with any design project, there are often moments of complexity, particularly when collaborating online, but we strive to ensure our clients feel supported throughout the process. We appreciate your feedback and understand that the remote nature of our communication may not have been ideal for you. Rest assured, we’re always working to make our interactions as seamless as possible. Your satisfaction with the final result is what matters most, and we're pleased that the stylish and functional design aligns with your lifestyle. Thank you again for your trust and for choosing to work with us!

We hired Joelle to help us design of a Parisian-style café. She demonstrated a clear understanding of the aesthetic we aimed for, skillfully blending traditional and modern elements. Her ability to adapt to the constraints of a commercial space while introducing innovative design ideas was impressive.
Joelle's eye for design and knack for integrating various styles played a crucial role in bringing our concept to life. Her thoughtful choices in the design process added a distinctive charm to our café.
Overall, Joelle's contribution has been very valuable to our project, and I would recommend her design services.

Working with Joelle was such a pleasure from beginning to end. She was an excellent listener, was always gracious in her communications, and she helped us authentically find our cultural esthetic.
Through her fantastic platform, we were able to see (not just envision) exactly what everything would be like, had access to accurate descriptions and pricing or each piece we contended with, and have back-and-forth communication with Joelle about any particular item or room.
She respectfully demonstrated for us why we weren't happy with our current home: there lacked harmony and flow between the rooms. Joelle taught us so much and helped us come into our style, which we could only express weakly before collaborating with her.
We're so excited about our space and can finally inhabit it exactly as it was meant to be enjoyed by our family.
Merci, Joelle!

Joelle is a fantastic designer and I recommend her very highly. She worked with me on coming up with a design for my new living room (400 square feet). I already had some ideas and a couple of existing pieces of furniture. Joelle was able to rapidly understand what I would like, accommodate my existing pieces, and propose a couple of alternatives. She then worked with me through refining until we had a final design. The final design had a perfect mix of modern and vintage furniture, rugs and accessories, some from places like DWR, others more unique. I decided to buy the items myself, and she gave me excellent leads for purchasing. All of this within my timeframe of a few weeks.

Joelle keeps it real, and is a true professional. She is far more talented than her price point would suggest. Many of my friends have used expensive design professionals, and are envious I worked with someone so good without the tens of thousands of dollars in expenditure they have incurred.

I did an in-person consultation with Joelle this week - roughly one hour. I'm in the midst of a full apartment renovation, and needed coaching and professional insight picking wall paint colors, as well as cabinet colors.

I'm in the midst of a full apartment renovation, and needed guidance on picking paint colors. I'd been researching paint colors for months, and honestly had lost confidence and perspective to make a final decision without input from a professional. I wanted to go with bolder paint colors, but was also doing this application in a classic one-bedroom apartment in the Upper West Side. Joelle's portfolio made sense when I thought about what I needed, and I sought her out for an in-person consultation. I walked her through my current options, what I was looking for, and where I was 'stuck' making decisions. Her eye for color and professional experience shone through, and she was able to talk me through my options, how certain elements would work together, and what I should look for to optimize for both style and 'sense of home'. I'm so so so happy I consulted with her, and would absolutely recommend you seek out her services. More...

It was a pleasure work with Joelle. She is knowledgeable and extremely responsive from start to finish.
We hired Joelle to stage two key rooms (customer entrance and training rooms) and to revamp the outside building with new set of color, landscaping and signs. Since IRIS Environmental Laboratories is currently branding nationwide it's asbestos and mold inspection franchise opportunity, it was critical to us that the professional was attentive to the brand.
Joelle understood all the concept and needs. She is outstandingly with ideas, drawings and super sensitive to client's timeline and budget. Another component that thrilled us was the flexibility to work remotely, since we have done this entire project communicating via internet.
without compromising the high quality she knew how to execute this project with limited budget.
If you need excellence in architecture, we recommend Joelle Magazine.

Q&As

Every project begins with a Design Review — a focused conversation about the space, the brief, and what the project needs to achieve. This is where we establish scope, priorities, and whether there’s alignment before moving forward.

From there, the process moves through concept development, material and finish selection, procurement, and project oversight through to completion. The level of involvement is calibrated to each project.

Studio Joelle works across hospitality, residential, and commercial projects. Engagements are selective.

To schedule a Design Review: studiojoelle.com/work-with-me

The work is not defined by a single style. It is defined by the project — its location, its use, its client, and what it needs to communicate.

Across 25 years of practice, the studio has worked in contemporary, transitional, mid-century, and classically influenced interiors and private residences.

Hospitality projects demand a different sensibility than a private residence. A law firm reads differently than a restaurant.

What stays consistent is the approach: materials-led, spatially considered, and built around a clear point of view for each project.

The moment a space stops being a floor plan and becomes a place.

That shift — when materials, light, proportion, and use come together — is what the work is really about.

After 25 years across hospitality, residential, and commercial projects, that still doesn't get routine. Every project has a different brief, a different client, a different set of constraints. Finding the right answer within those constraints is what makes the work interesting.

The projects I find most rewarding are the ones where design does real work — where a hotel lobby changes how guests feel when they arrive, or a residence finally fits the life being lived in it.

Training at Istituto Marangoni in Milan set a standard. Working independently was the only way to maintain it.

Running a studio means full control over which projects to take, how deeply to engage, and what the work actually looks like. That selectivity is what allows the quality to stay consistent across hospitality, residential, and commercial projects.

The work is published in Dezeen, Architizer, and Archello. The clients are serious. The projects are worth doing

Twenty-five years in, the decision still makes sense.

25 years of practice. Published in Dezeen, Architizer, and Archello. Jury member for the World's Best Hotel Awards. Trained at Istituto Marangoni in Milan.

The studio works across hospitality, residential, and commercial projects in New York City and worldwide. The work is materials-led, spatially considered, and built around a clear point of view for each project.

Engagements are selective. That selectivity is what protects the quality of the work — and the experience of working with the studio.

Clients who are the right fit know it quickly. A Design Review is where that conversation begins: studiojoelle.com/work-with-me.


Yes. A significant portion of Studio Joelle's work is delivered remotely or with limited on-site presence, particularly for clients outside New York City.

The process is the same regardless of location — Design Review, concept development, material and finish selection, procurement, and oversight through to completion. Remote delivery is structured, not abbreviated.

For international projects and clients outside the NYC metro area, the studio works through a combination of video consultations, detailed documentation, and trusted local contractors where needed.

To begin: studiojoelle.com/work-with-me

All client meetings and Design Reviews are available via video call. On-site visits are scheduled as needed and conducted professionally. Remote delivery is fully supported across all project types.
