ABOUT GIANNA

A Rhode Island native, Gianna received a Bachelor of Arts degree in studio art and psychology from Providence College. In 2002, she left to explore the modern designs found in Los Angeles, a city whose modern aesthetic has always been inspiring. While working as a professional DJ, she continued to hone her skills in her home studio and developed a strong interest in architecture and interiors. In recent accomplishments, Gianna was featured in the November 2009 issue of Elle Décor magazine for her winning design for the Legends of La Cienega Design Quarter Competition. In spring 2010, she was a finalist for the Thos. Moser furniture design competition.

Recently, Gianna received a Professional Degree in Interior Design at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising and can be seen on HGTV’s new show, Design School.  She is focusing her interests in set design and furniture design. When not designing, Gianna still works as a DJ, mixing music for clubs, private parties and events.
