Led by care, taste, and attention to detail
Kelvin Design Group is a Greater Cincinnati lighting design and motorized shades firm led by Joe Baum, a Lutron Platinum dealer with more than 25 years of experience. His passion for the work is rooted in both the technical side of the solution and the beauty of the finished result. He understands that the right shade or lighting decision can change the way a space is experienced, and he brings that level of thought into every project.
Joe's strength is not just in product knowledge. It is in helping clients and project partners make confident, well-informed decisions that lead to a better outcome. His approach is personal, detail-oriented, and centered on creating spaces that feel considered from every angle.

For clients and partners who care about getting the details right
Kelvin Design Group works with homeowners, architects, builders, and designers who want solutions that feel appropriate to the space and aligned with the level of the project. Whether the need is custom shades for a private residence, lighting guidance for a new build, or a dependable partner who understands design intent, Kelvin brings a thoughtful and collaborative approach throughout the process.
A Design-First Approach to Light, Comfort, and Control
Kelvin’s process is not about pushing products. It is about understanding how a space should feel and function. Lighting impacts mood, architecture, artwork, daily routines, and the overall atmosphere of a home. Shades affect privacy, glare, comfort, temperature, and how natural light moves through a room.
Joe looks at these details together so every recommendation supports the bigger picture.
