BIO

Joseph Lam, the creative mind and founder of Zen West Design, builds homes, 
designs interiors, and transforms living and workspaces to emphasize a blend of Feng Shui and functionality. He holds an interior design degree from the Art Institute of California, Santa Monica and collaborates with esteemed Los Angeles architects throughout the home development process. His involvement in each project begins at ground level—from property selection, construction and landscaping, to interior design details including furniture, lighting, artwork, upholstery, and staging. 

An avid collector with a variety of passions, Joseph owns rare luxury vintage timepieces as well as classic automobiles from the 60s and 70s. Nearly twenty years ago, he established the world’s leading independent insured shipping provider for the jewelry and wristwatch industry and in 2015, the company was acquired by UPS Capital, a subsidiary of United Parcel Service. Joseph’s vast experience as a savvy and visionary entrepreneur has helped shape the concepts and success of Zen West Design.
