About
Most of my life revolves around art and design. I have an overactive creative mind. I am constantly searching for more ways to show my creativity. I like everything from modern design to European design to shabby chic design. Currently, I am working on my degree in interior design. I am also work in graphic design creating posters, logos, some web design, and some illustration. I love working with color and type/typography. Creating different color palettes on Kuler and Colour Lovers is one of my favorite things to do in spare time.
My goal/dream is to have a small interior design firm in a hip/trendy area of Brooklyn [Williamsburg area or Park Slope] where the epitome of urban living is visible.
I also work in traditional mediums: gouache, acrylics, colored pencils, Copic markers, and Prismacolors. I like making stationery and paper designs with different intricate designs and unique ideas and would love to have a little side company set up for it one day as well.
Being artistic and creative does not only mean that I make art but admire it as well.
I read a LOT of magazines…some of my faves are: Domino, Dwell, Wallpaper, Paper, and NYLON [and of course the girly mags as well] :)
I’m a very loyal, understanding, and forgiving person…but three strikes and you are OUT. Being that I am a very perceptive and intuitive gal, I call them my sixth & seventh senses.
I jumped on the eco-friendly/green band wagon a while back - it is one wagon I am NEVER falling off of. Since I love the idea of using natural/recycled materials for clothing and design purposes it always sticks in my mind that it helps to preserve our earth longer.
My fave eco-living books: 1001 Ways To Save The Earth, The Green Book, It's Easy Being Green, Living Like Ed, Easy Green Living
Ever since I was young, I always loved learning about ghosts and hauntings. A few years I was going to get my paranormal investigator certification but didn’t get to study enough but I will one day. Helping out people with their “unwanted guests” and knowing that you have set their minds at ease is a great feeling.

I was lucky enough to have my grandfather for just over 13 years. I was closer to him than I could be to anyone. He was and always will be the light in my soul and the most important person to me. Vincenzo Salvatore: 06.24.1910 - 03.27.1993
"People once believed, that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens, that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes the crow could bring that soul back to put the wrong things right."
Jane Austen once said: "I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them."
"We walk as Gods together through a firey dawn. What if you love someone you shouldn't love? What will you're dying father's last words to you be? What now, the painting of your lovers is complete?
Aaron Stainthorpe, My Dying Bride 2006"
The hour of parting is at hand
Sorrow ever awaits on joy
And has rendered me to (pieces)
Drink me deep
O death devour
Cover me with darkness
And paint me like death
I drown in remembrance
Requiem, Kyrie, requiem.

I adore our wolves. They have been one of my favorite animals since I was a kid. Do you know how endangered they are? Governors in states of Alaska, Wyoming, and Idaho are trying to put and end to the wolf population. Click here and HELP however you can!
