Business Manager/Project Manager

Simone's first love was art and the discipline of painting, earning her a MFA from the University of California. Her research work with a private collector offered the opportunity to discover the treasures of the world and fostered the desire to enter the design profession. She honed her skills training at John Saladino's atelier, while serving as his manager, and enjoying her colleague, Benjamin. Simone co-founded a design firm, based in New York, deriving inspiration from travel and focusing on art. The circle was completed when she joined BNOdesign, where she enjoys multi-tasking.

Her love of adventure has led her to sail New Zealand, safari in Africa, swim the waters of Bora Bora, and ski anywhere and everywhere. Simone's newest pursuit is the trapeze and she has been known to complete a flying catch, screaming all the way. Oh, and her second love is shoes.
