THE WRITING ON THE WALL
From the beginning it was clear Sylvia would be expressive with how she saw the world around her. At the raw age of 4, she created Pollack-like installation all over the walls of her Milanese kindergarten. Using splotches of every shade of crayola crayons she could get her little hands on. Despite becoming wildly popular with her kindergarten co-mates, the school kept a close eye on her "creativity".

It was clear that Sylvia was going to continue to leave her mark everywhere. Earning two undergrad degrees and a post grad degree in Applied Arts in Architecture and Interior Design at the Art Institute in Turin, she was eager to expand her horizons. So in 1988, she left Milan for New York where she got her BFA in Media Arts at the School of Visual Arts.

From graphic design to creative direction, Sylvia has created award-winning advertising while working in a number of agencies big and small including:

Saks Incorporated, SpikeDDB, The New York Times, Hill/Holliday, DDB, TBWA/Chiat/Day, Green Team Advertising, OgilvyOne, GoSmile, Tito Pedrini, Mariana Antinori.

Sylvia has earned a reputation for designing a signature european, humane and humorous sensibility to all her work. As the partner of FinFog (Finzi+Fogarty) she created her most conceptual work for everything from Bastard snowboard to GoSmile corporate identity, continually pushing the boundaries to create something lovable yet unexpected. No wonder the likes of Spike Lee commented on how much he likes her style.

She hopes to continue working to try and create the most insightful and visually stunning work.
