About 

I am a graduate student at Northeastern University finishing up my degree in the Masters in Architecture while having completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture with a minor in Urban Studies.
I am an aspiring architect with an eye for photography. I have been operated two apparel companies, which has given me the opportunity to not only advance my client to designer relationships but allows for further growth in various design fields. In the realm of architecture, I started Gallo Lt. Design in 2009 working primarily on one small scale residential renovation on the island of Martha's Vineyard. This project has recently finished construction.
Earlier this year, I had gained another small scale residential addition project and continue to expand my apparel companies hoping to keep pressing forward in both the architectural and design fields.
