About Joel.

Enduring. It's not a word you hear much about anymore.

It hasn't disappeared from the design vernacular entirely. But the thoughtfully designed, solidly constructed, well-installed piece has become harder to find, a quest of sorts. In so many instances, we find ourselves at the mercy of cheap and fast--the buzzwords for the bulk of what gets purchased and installed in today's home decor and design. We are left to attempt to design and furnish our homes in an age where quantity rules, and the concept of artistic quality doesn't enter the equation at all.

A lifetime resident of historic Natchez, the oldest town on the Mississippi River, Joel Misita continues to buck the trend. Today his workshop is housed in the lower level of the home he designed and built for his wife, Catherine, and two children, Joseph and Rachel. As Misita Designs continues to flourish, Joel recognizes that the growth is driven by his desire to create enduring pieces that enamor and enthrall--uniquely intriguing architectural and design elements with a story.
