Designed for the moment someone walks in.
Josh Minter Design is a New York studio creating high-end interiors with a set designer’s eye, for homes, buildings, brand environments and sets. Some projects are lived in for decades and some are seen for one season. Each one is built around the same moment: when the door opens, the curtain rises or someone stops on the sidewalk.
For every project we assemble and direct the right team, including architects, fabricators, artisans, photographers and stylists, so each client gets a studio shaped to their work.

Founder & Creative Director
As a kid in Indiana, Josh rearranged the family bookshelves until every shelf told a story. That instinct led him to the theatre, where he studied set design at the College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati and learned how a room can make an audience feel something before a word is spoken.
He moved to New York in 2003 and started where the city puts on its biggest show: installing holiday décor across Manhattan. He dressed windows at Fishs Eddy, ushered at the New Amsterdam Theatre on Broadway, and by 2005 was a regular on the Saks Fifth Avenue window team, where every inch faced the street. In 2007 he joined Mayo Studios as a set designer and stylist, creating showrooms, windows and shoots for brands across home and fashion.
In 2017 he founded Josh Minter Design. Today the studio’s work ranges from residences at The Plaza to the lobby, amenities and homes of The Laurel, and from Fifth Avenue windows to brand showrooms and installations. Alongside the studio, Josh designs seasonal sets for ABC’s The View as a member of United Scenic Artists Local 829. The show’s sets earned a 2026 Daytime Emmy nomination.
Across all of it, one idea holds: a space should make you feel something before you can explain why.
