As a fellow interior designer, I’ve known Joseph Matthews for years—first as a colleague and then as a friend. Originally based in Philadelphia, he built an incredible career in Los Angeles before relocating to the Tampa/Sarasota area. I’ve watched him grow his client base, perfect his signature style, and become a sought-after designer, even speaking at major design events in New York and Las Vegas.
Now, he’s the best-kept secret in Sarasota’s high-end design scene, creating stunning interiors for custom homes, private estates, and multifamily developments. He also works closely with a top local showroom as a buyer and advisor, helping clients with everything from lighting and wallpaper to furniture, art, and floor plans.
Beyond his talent, Joseph is a true professional—dedicated, creative, and always focused on delivering a personalized experience. If you’re looking for a designer who will bring vision, expertise, and a seamless process to your project, I highly recommend reaching out to him. He even offers no-cost consultations for private residences—don’t miss the chance to work with one of the best!
Thank you so much for that thoughtful review Spencer!

We had a very positive experience with Designer Joseph Matthews. We appreciate his sense of style, attention to detail, use of neutrals and color. If you are searching for a Designer who works quickly, efficiently and professionally, we recommend Joseph Matthews.
Joe expertly transformed our outdated 1980's Siesta Key gulf front condo into a bright, modern, and inviting home. The renovation process began with the removal of dated wallpaper, popcorn ceiling and dull paint colors, instantly revitatlizing the space. Next, Joe curated a transformation that blended contemporary elegance with coastal charm. He also adhere's to a budget and is overall knowledgable about design and is easy to work with.
Thank you Judy! It was an experience I will remember for the rest of my life assisting my 91 year old grandfather and you with the project.
I had a great time and it turned out beautifully.

Tom and I had the pleasure of working with Joe and we couldn’t be happier with the result. His wonderful eye for design, great taste, and understanding of our style preference truly made the process a breeze. Joe not only listened attentively to our ideas, but also added his own creative touch. He made the process fun and we walked away knowing that we ended up with something much better than we could’ve done on our own. We highly recommend Joe.
Thank you Tom & Diane! You two were such a pleasure to work with and my favorite part of the entire project was decorating your Christmas tree. Your home as well as that tree turned out flawless. 🙏❤️
