What have you been doing before Fabrica?
I was mainly not making money or much money for art/design work. Working to get by in various university jobs around Philadelphia, and exhibiting here and there.

What is the plan now?
Earn money freelancing, or doing fulltime design at a studio on the east coast. And do some proper partying (as the British would say).

Which was the best moment here?
Moments. Being a man of simple pleasures I enjoy those times when I’d get gelato, or have coffee and or pizza alone or with friends.

Did you learn anything in Fabrica?
Yep, I learned some stream of consciousness life lessons:

Say what you mean

Honesty is more appreciated then good intended kindness

Clients are the test of a good designer

A good deal of people don’t have good imaginations even those in positions that they should

Censoring your thoughts and actions in regards to people is a not far step away from censoring your creative ideas

It’s always good to have the ability to move, lack of comfort in different places enables one to reflect

I am not Andy even though people say I am

All art and design looks the same to those who don’t attempt to investigate it in-depth

All Italians seem the same to those who don’t talk to them

Photoshoping photos i.e. visual metaphors sucks and is the ultimate corny

Man/Woman can’t live on work alone if they want to live a full sane life

Just because someone says they’ll do something doesn’t mean they’ll do it

Sometimes you need to bug people to point of irritation to get what you want

Organization needs to be appreciated and awarded

“I’m busy” means “I don’t want to hear you or do what you want me to do”

People should be able to fart, burp and drink beer at work

People should be able to work freely without people standing behind them and looking over their shoulder, a right that should be fought for

People should not be able to play their Bjork or Motown music loud while others are working.

“Diversity” means “Marketing pitch”

If you have good karma your boss could possibly be demoted

Smile when you say “arrivederci”

How is it to live in Italy?
I don’t know I just lived in Treviso, I wasn’t down with the whole stand around do nothing arrogant posh vibe. That’s just my nonspeaking Italian impression.

Last words?
What is Fabrica? Is it like work or is it a school?
