Born just outside of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I left just after college to travel the world. After travelling through Europe, Africa and Asia, I fell in love with Italy and decided to make it my home. I aquired my computer skills in Venice, then after sharpening my eye for color and smooth fluid lines, I moved down to Florence, the home of classic Italian fashion design and cutting edge furniture and graphic design. With two Italian partners, I opened a small new media studio and we began to handle clients involoved in various industries: fashion, tourism, design, furniture, automotive and more. In October of 2003, I relocated to Los Angeles.
 
Antonio Lupi:
For this Italian Bed and Bath Designer, we completed 2 versions of his website, one in 2001 in white, and a revised edition 2002 in black, both with extensive presentation in flash, which also included music. A Cd-rom was developed to ship to clients worldwide which detailed their entire product catalog, including a schematic database for architects and builders.

Davenza:
For this Italian Tailor, the site's overall design was to closely follow existing print material and showcase the quality and classic style of their brand. A back-end side was eventually developed for their retailors worldwide to order some of the finest custom made suits in the world.

Fantacci Arredamenti:
An Italian Design Furniture Emporium, Fantacci asked me to produce a clean, fluid site in flash which would showcase the top brand names of the design world on their site, as well as incorporate their existing logo and the Emporium exhibiton space. Music was also added and the entire site theme was eventually developed into a cd-rom for client mail outs and trade shows.

Harley Davidson Italia - Firenze
For this International icon's presence in Italy, I was contacted to develop, a simple, minimalist style site which would closely follow Harley Davidsons existing advertising and include its copywrighted logos and graphics. With a flash intro, the site draws viewers in, where they then find a database of all HD bikes and mechanical specifications.
