Sobre mi biblioteca

My library is heavy in works about furniture, architecture, and social history, particularly before the Twentieth Century.
I am also an opera buff, so i have lots of scores and books about opera.
Also, I am interested in culinary history and foodways, so there is a good concentration of this type of material.
I read nearly all non-fiction

Sobre mí

I am an assistant professor in the Interior Design Department at the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York City, and i teach a series of courses in Design History for Interior Designers.
