Welcome to La Bella Vita, a blog about design and food from the perspective of a designer and foodie.
I live, work and (most importantly) eat in Boston, Massachusetts. So save the occasional vacation or flashback to various travels, Boston is what I will be writing about.
I graduated Boston University's College of Communication in 2005 with a degree in Mass Communication and a dream to work as an advertising art director. Instead, I do marketing for a Boston real estate office and freelance web/graphic design. Currently, I am working with two local fashion designers. I have a preference for clean, typographical design centered around crisp photography with a sprinkling of ornate detail for flavor.
I have always loved food. This is most obviously illustrated by my driver's license photo, in which I am 270 lbs. I have since shed over 80 lbs, and I have found I love food more than ever. Growing up in the suburbs of Hartford, Connecticut constantly surrounded by 3 generations of Italian relatives, I loved food in quantity. Now, a city-dwelling young professional, I love food of quality.
I will be using this blog to write restaurant reviews, share recipes, comment on the design in the every day, express thoughts on ads, signage, websites, books and other visual media, and occasionally muse on random things.
I gladly welcome your feedback in the form of recommendations, praise or criticism.
Live beautifully, all!
