ABOUT THE AUTHOR

WEB_AUTHOR.jpg

Dropping out of art school, Louie Mandrapilias moved to New York City to pursue a brief career in drug smuggling, followed by a journey into the art of woodworking in a Midtown Manhattan loft. He returned to the University of Houston to complete his B.A. in Graphic Design. 

 

Louie has spent forty years contributing to top-tier media brands — including LGBTQ+ publishing pioneers The Advocate and Out magazines — while executing successful design work for major global luxury brands. 

​

An imaginary conversation with his father resulted in his memoir Flew Too High. Coming full circle, Louie recently designed and renovated a historic Brooklyn brownstone. He lives a blessed life in the City of Angels where the adventure continues — a sequel to his first book is in the works.
