| John Vilardi I graduated from the Hendrix Institute on Long Island, NY, in 2001, mastering my expertise in Graphics Communications which included Lightwave 3D, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator. I went on to work at the Inky Dinky Animation Studio with Robert Burden in NY for two years and then had the pleasure of working on a few comic books and a short film with Billy Tucci — owner, writer and illustrator for Shi Comic books. Currently I'm a freelance artist in Leesburg, Florida. My company was founded in 2001 on Long Island, NY. I Joined the Edison Nation Family five years ago and have had the pleasure of assisting in the promotion of many extremely talented inventors. I have maintained a practice of providing 3D products that engage the senses. I have a great eye for design with common sense solutions. |

Everyday Edison Sept. 18th 2012
INVENTORS DIGEST MAGAZINE Sept. 2011 As a former real estate broker and business owner, Toni LaCava simply sought a better solution for her struggles with sleep apnea, so she began working to create a solution on her own. While visiting a local inventor’s group held at the neighborhood library, Toni met a fellow inventor who introduced her to Inventors Digest magazine. Reading through the publication, Toni learned about Edison Nation and quickly joined, becoming an active member and inventor. Brainstorming for new ideas became a regular activity for Toni, and building many friendships on the Edison Nation member forums, she would often invite her “forum friends” to collaborate on submissions. One of those friends was John Vilardi, whose graphic communications background, love for art, and great ideas were a perfect addition to the new kitchen product concept Toni was working to create. Together Toni and John perfected the idea and have now found their way to G8 success!
Congratulations Toni and John! We look forward to working with you further to continue pushing your product along the path of success!Contact me at:

Anyone can have an idea. But those who work to put meat on the bones and put flesh on their ideas are the ones who can claim the mantle of invention……. Gene Quinn |
