William Loccisano – Designer

I am an Art Director with a specialization in book design, boasting two decades of experience in the upscale design industry of NYC.

Overview

As Art Director at Pandiscio Green, a renowned New York design agency, I bring over 25 years of experience in luxury design. My expertise centers on book design, where I've crafted high-end editions for clients across architecture, fine art, design, fashion, lifestyle, photography, gastronomy, and travel.


I've had the privilege of collaborating with luminaries such as Ralph Lauren, James Franco, Francis Ford Coppola, Peter Doig, Julian Schnabel, Vito Schnabel, Jeffrey Deitch, Mario Buatta, André Balazs, and Ronald S. Lauder.

Known for my attention to detail, precision, and reliability, I am committed to excellence and a strong work ethic—and I’m told I’m a pleasure to work with, too.
