Tom Giannattasio has been fascinated with design since childhood, an interest led him to a bachelor's degree in graphic design from Penn College. After graduating in 2006, he worked as a software designer for the likes of Apple and Twitter before creating his own web-design tool, Macaw. Today, Giannattasio is director of product, design tools at InVision App in Washington, D.C. As his career continues to flourish, he remains "extremely thankful" for his education. As he says in a video posted to the college's YouTube channel, "It filled a piece of my life that I needed before I could go out and actually succeed in the real world." (Giannattasio's story is also featured in the Fall 2016 issue of Penn College Magazine.)
