Meet the Business Owner

Joseph G.

Business Owner

Joseph Garel isn’t comfortable standing still. Instead he continues to climb the ladder of interest and passion, where he’s found a comfortable resting place in True Scape Design. As an accountant and construction project manager he grew interested in hands-​on construction management, where dealing with sub contractors and clients added excitement to the mix.

Of the many disciplines involved in building, it was the land and the people who worked it that he felt most comfortable with. The environment is frenzied, and involves numerous entities taking part in a growth spurt attached to Seattle’s economic boom. Joe speaks the many languages required to successfully navigate such an environment, including creative, business and client relations.
