Originally from Rochester, New York, I escaped the cold gray skies in search of warmer weather and a brighter future. Through my experience I have learned a lot about myself and realized my true passions.

As a designer I am inspired by those who go above and beyond the call of duty to create something extraordinary and unexpected.

By growing up in an entrepreneurial family, I have learned what it takes to run a successful business and have always found an interest in learning what makes that business better.

I am continually looking to expand my talents and knowledge through creative problem solving. I thrive in a creative environment as it fuels my passion and drives me to be successful. I look forward to the challenges in the future and am confident my experience has prepared me to meet them.

My logo was created to reflect not only who I am as a professional, but also, who I am as a person. The outcome was my abstract version of an armored warhorse. The historic representation of the horse dates back to my Italian heritage and war torn Sicily. The ornamental shape is similar to the Fleur-de-Lis and symbolizes my love for the Canadian sport of hockey.

The simplistic one-color design is true to my work method. I am versatile in technique but do not have a personal style I call my own. I enjoy learning and experimenting with different approaches. In a literal sense, I have been known to take the reins on projects and help lead the team. I have also been described as a workhorse when enduring a project. I am pleased with the overall design and how accurately it represents both my personality and my professional attitude.
