Gattacho
[ɡataːt͡ʃo]
I am an academic and a creator. I have been drawing ever since I was old enough to hold a crayon and draw on my sister's artwork. In high school, I remember watching my mother sew costumes for the local musicals and saying "I want to do that!" After that, I was so determined that I made my own dresses for every school dance and started making Halloween costumes!
On this page, you will find the marriage of my two interests in apparel and blankets. I design fabrics (which are available on my Spoonflower page) and then sew them into products for you! My designs are of several sorts:
- Inspiration from where I grew up.
- Inspiration from places that I have visited during my academic career (usually while doing research).
- Inspiration from things that I want, and should be widely available, but sadly due to an abundance of poor taste aren't.
My primary job is writing papers, designing original research, and teaching, but I am sometimes down for more complex custom projects (see my blog for more information). But in the meantime, let my designs help you express yourself!
PS. Why 'gattacho'? That is my little monster's name in Italian.
