DESCRIBE YOUR TYPICAL DAY

I always start the day scrolling through social media and posting inspiration. Then I leave the house and typically start running around to meet with clients or visit trade showt0oms to tackle design projects. Then I spend the day working out of the store to help our amazing customers with their design needs.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BUSINESS TO 
VISIT HERE IN NAPLES? 

I enjoy visiting the Naples Botanical Garden. I like how they collaborate with various artists on installations, and I draw a lot of inspiration from nature. The textures, colors, and scents are breathtaking.


WHAT ARE YOUR TOP THREE PRIORITIES 
IN LIFE RIGHT NOW?


Finding work/life balance (I love work too much), buying a house (I spend so much time creating homes for clients that I want to create something great for me!) getting my six-pack abs back.


WHERE IS YOUR FAVORITE "OFF·THE·GRID" PLACE TO ESCAPE?


I am obsessed with finding time to decompress in a salt cave. The air is so clean and crisp, and it's the ultimate place to relax.

AS A CHILD, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO  GROW UP TO BE? 

I was raised by parents that were teachers, so I figured I would become one as well, but when I discovered my creative gene, I knew I had to pursue that instead. 

WHAT MUSIC/SONG/ARTIST DO YOU JAM OUT TO WHEN NO ONE ELSE IS AROUND?


I really like Vanessa Daou. She is a bit under the radar but her music is sultry, a bit jazzy with a dash of electronic

IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO YOUR 21-YEAR·OLD  SELF, WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE HIM?  

Don't worry about the future; enjoy the moment instead. Pat yourself on the back more often, and let yourself appreciate your accomplishments.

NAME ONE ITEM ON YOUR BUCKET LIST. 

I would like to go on an al\Cestrat trip to leam more about my heritage and family. In particular, I would like to visit a Palazzo in Salemo, Italy, that bears my last name.

WHAT WOULD BE ON YOUR PLATE 
FOR YOUR LAST MEAL? 

My favorite dish is a good Bolognese. but I have a sweet tooth, and I make the best chocolate cake ever, so I would have to have some of that too.

Party favors 
'Tis the season to bestow small tokens 
of appreciation upon those who are so kind as to invite us to their fabulous holiday shindigs. Sure, a bottle of wine will always help medicate the effort and stress (not to mention the expense) of throwing a holiday party, but host/hostess gifts like these will make it clear you're the kind of guest who puts a bit more thought into saying, "Thank you for having me." With any luck, you'll be invited back.
