Transform Ordinary Into the Extraordinary - Tornado Creative

Team Subkit -

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in design services but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Al Quattrocchi, Co-Founder of Tornado Creative, located in Los Angeles, CA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

My business partner Jeff Smith and I started Tornado Creative around thirty years ago here in Los Angeles. We are a creative agency focusing mainly on entertainment, music, and corporate clients.

Tell us about yourself

We always wanted to work independently for ourselves and be able to see our vision from concept through a finished project. Working as a creative, I love to solve problems with creative solutions and think outside the box. It is nice to work on many different projects, each with its own challenges; that's what excites me each day. I am never bored of doing the same thing over and over.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Staying in the game over many years and helping to mentor some of the many interns that came through our doors.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

The hardest thing as a business owner is managing cash flow. There are always peaks and valleys financially when you own a business. There's no substitution for hard work.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Love what you do. Work hard. Treat every job like it is your last; make it the best it can be.
