I visually connect people through design.

Whether it be a client's branding, logo, app, business or birthday card, I'm driven by communicating the intended message to its respective audience.

Years before I was a Manhattan-based graphic designer and art director, I was a little Italian boy who didn't know more than "Hello" in English at 10 years-old.

I observed visual cues/colors from cartoons, ads, and Sunday comics, and eventually learned to allow shape and color to lead conversation.

My Italian upbringing also taught me that a functional product is actually better shaped by differences, while also teaching me to have intention behind all decisions—design or not.
