Personal Info:       Name:   Anthony Lauro Place of Birth:   Mayfield Hts., Ohio Contact:   954-675-1679 Email:   alauro@hotshoestudios.com Website:   www.hotshoestudios.com Mantra:   "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."* * © Adidas           Education:       Elementary:   St. Francis of Assisi High School:   Mayfield High School College:   Cleveland Institute of Art , BFA Automotive & Industrial Design           Experience:       1992 - 1994   Student automotive projects sponsored and taught by GM, Chrysler, and Ford 1994 - 1997   Freelance Design, Graphic, Interior, and Web design 1997 - 2000   Shelton Ferrari, Ft.
