McCarter Design

McCarter Design was established by Joseph W McCarter in 1986 and formerly known as J W McCarter & Associates. Joseph's creative approach to design is unique, engaging, and dynamic. His design process is the culmination of an extensive background in theatrical lighting, architecture, and construction. Joseph's work is fueled by his passion for creat... ing spaces that truly come to life. "My signature style is not a 'look', it's a 'feel'." Joseph learned to tell a dynamic story through the use of space while designing theatrical sets in San Francisco. During this time, he successfully created environments that immediately provided information, inspired feeling, and lured the audience into the moment. This was achieved through great attention to detail and resourcefully maximizing the use of space from all angles. Joseph's interior designs do the same, only in this context, the project is not restricted to the confines of a theater. Now, when crafting designs, Joseph's creativity and architectural awareness allow him to dream up designs that capture and showcase the unique attributes of his clients, the structure, and the surrounding environment. With Joseph's design process, clients feel they are really part of the story. "My designs ignite a feeling, tell a story, and deliver a personalized expression of luxury in each space. We will approach your space with an uncommonly wide lens that extends beyond four-wall structures to include the terrain, light, and scale with ability to thoughtfully curate designs that are beautiful from any angle." Now, 30 years since McCarter Design launched, Joseph continues to successfully create original designs for clients throughout southern California and as far as Vancouver, New York, New Orleans, & San Francisco.
