I am Valentina, an architectural interior designer by trade.
I am the owner of my design firm which I have owned since 1990, serving a variegated group of fun people.
My passion is to envision things and spaces that do not exist yet, design and create them.
My focus is on remodeling outdate spaces and build new homes, but I especially focus on designing kitchens, wine grottos, baths and entertainment rooms.
This is the core of my business, of course I design everything else.
I love to design custom furniture which I always manage to produce locally with clever artisans.
Every home I have designed and built so far hosts at least a couple of pieces of my personal signature furniture.
Colors are a great part of my business, in fact, my life is a continuous evolvement of colorful events.
I am available to serve my clients at any location they live and I also accept projects abroad and on line. In fact my clientele stretches from USA to Europe.
Many times, I have made appearances on T.V. Comcast Channel 15 for the shows:
“On The Town” – “Colorful Journey Of Success” – “That’s Italian!” and
“Christmas Around The World at the Historic Ainsley House”
My projects have been featured and published on major publications:
Vogue magazine, in Italy
Gentry South, Gentry Peninsula and Gentry Design, in California
California Home & Design
Bay Living, in California
Antiques and Designs, in California
……..and many more.

My passions have brought me to explore many different areas.
I love to cook, eat well and entertain. This is one of the many reasons I wrote two regional Italian cultural cookbooks. I am a published author of :
Come Mia Nonna-A Return To Simplicity – about food from Puglia, Italy. Visit my book site: http://outskirtspress.com/ComeMiaNonna

Sins Of A Queen – about Italian appetizers and sweets, some from Puglia, some from other regions of Italy. Visit my book site: http://outskirtspress.com/SinsOfAQueen
My third book on the subject of Colors will be released at the end of 2011.
It’s the good life!
