Kevin, MFA Student (Hunter College)
"I was unsure about the prospects of graduate school, but Massimo helped show me how it is the right decision for my future. He assisted me every step of the way, from my portfolio to my artist statement, and instilled me with the confidence I needed to make it through the application process successfully. I'm now enrolled in and looking forward to attending a school I have wanted to attend since receiving my BFA six years ago. I can't thank him enough."
Bella, BFA Student (RISD)
"I worked with Massimo for almost 8 months and found his assistance invaluable.
Before working with Massimo, I struggled with all aspects of my portfolio. I found his guidance critical. Our discussions helped me determine what my portfolio was lacking and how to organize and present it most effectively.
Massimo’s experience working with artists, admissions professionals, and high school seniors reduced the pressure on me. His support, suggestions, and guidance created a seamless and stress-free college application process. He also assisted with my essay, created and tracked progress on my activities, and developed a list of top targets (which included domestic and international schools, colleges, and universities). He was also there to answer any questions my parents had.
Lastly, Massimo has a pleasant, positive, and easy-going style. He is proactive and a delight to work with.
Thanks to Massimo, I will be attending my dream school in the fall. I would recommend his counseling services to any young artists planning on applying to art and design institutions."

“When we first contacted Massimo, application due dates were just a few months away, my daughter’s essays were half-written and we found ourselves without a college counselor. From our first meeting, we knew Massimo was a perfect fit – he understood creative minds and how to motivate using a great balance of praise and firm direction. In a few short months together, they managed to get everything done – beautifully written essays and a breathtaking portfolio. My daughter was accepted to a university our previous counselor told us was out of reach, she’s now creating beautiful art and thriving. Our only regret is not meeting him sooner!”
