Louie Mandrapilias 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. A true Renaissance man, Louie recently 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.
