About Us

Stauffer Design LLC of Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, was founded by Joe
Stauffer in the fall of 2007. After
beginning his career in the
mechanical engineering field, and
then working for a high-end custom
cabinetry manufacturer, Joe
decided to start a business that
would allow him to combine his
creative ambitions with his firm
understanding of fit and function.
The result was Stauffer Design LLC—a custom cabinetry design firm able to meet the needs of the cabinetry designer/showroom and individual customer alike. Utilizing the freedom and power of computer-aided drafting and modern communication, Stauffer Design is able to work virtually anywhere with ease. As an ambitious small business owner, Joe is constantly brainstorming for new and improved ways to serve his customers. Outside of work, he enjoys building electric guitars, biking and running, playing in bands, and spending time with his wife and three children.

Dan Carpenter also got his custom
cabinetry career started at
Christiana Cabinetry, performing
many different engineering tasks
over his years there. Having
periodically helped Joe with
overflow work on the side, he
decided to come to Stauffer Design
full time in early 2010, and has been
proving his CAD designer talents
ever since. In his spare time, Dan
also enjoys playing music (drums), riding and working on motorcycles, participating in youth ministry, and spending time with his wife and daughter.

“My firm has worked with Joe Stauffer of Stauffer Design for several years now. I’ve hired several others in his field, but his attention to detail and knowledge of the cabinet industry really sets him apart from the rest. I can’t imagine my client presentation packages looking as good as they do without Joe’s services!”
