About

A Curtin University design graduate and former AWARD school winner, Red Room principle Joe Kapiteyn has over two decades of experience in the design industry.

Following his graduation in 1992, he initially spent several years watching his soul wither away in the advertising industry, before hitting the ejector seat button and going out on his own in 2001.

Having close ties to the local band scene, an idea was born to combine his two greatest passions - music and design - into the one boutique business. Since then, Red Room has grown steadily in reputation but not so much in size, Joe preferring to keep things personal and "suit free". 

When he's not chained to his Mac, Joe can be found at a local record store or live music venue (he’s that tall guy you can’t see past). He reads less than he should, posts on social media more than he should, lives for music, loves his kids and enjoys running, photography and long walks along the beach.
