Guest Bio
Leonardo Casillas
Leonardo Casillas Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. When he was twelve years old, Leonardo and his family moved to Lynn, Massachusetts and instantly connected with the vibrant community. He attended Lynn Public Schools and graduated from Lynn Classical High School at the top of his class. It was here that Leonardo developed a passion for community, and a desire to be a part of positive changes and progression from within.
The Great Recession highlighted the needs of Leonardo’s community, and witnessing the negative impacts within his own neighborhood was an eye-opening experience. In order to understand how families can better equip themselves to prepare for and overcome economic hardship, Leonardo pursued a degree in Finance at Stonehill College in Easton, MA.
Upon graduating, Leonardo moved to Somerville and worked in a Corporate, Financial Planning and Analysis role in the private sector for two years. He decided that his skills would be better utilized within his own community, and transitioned to working as a full-time real estate agent. This first-hand experience of watching homeowners struggle with the process of selling homes led to the realization that a simpler solution was needed. He established Eclipse to be just that – a simplified solution.
Brianna Maggio
Brianna knew from a young age that her life’s calling was in the field of design. She spent much of her childhood creating floor plans of hotels, houses, and make-believe buildings. As such, her decision to further her education and study Architectural Design at the University of Massachusetts Amherst came naturally.
Brianna set about on her college journey at UMass Amherst determined to turn her once make-believe buildings into reality. During her time at university, Brianna also discovered a hidden passion for art and art history. She found that this newly found creative interest and knowledge greatly complimented the more technical aspects of her work in architectural design.
Post-graduation, Brianna embarked on a backpacking trip through Southeast Asia, Australia, and Europe, where she was able to further pursue her passion for art and design. Wandering through the incredible temples, ruins, and museums she had learned about only in textbooks was paramount in her growth as an artist and designer.
She established Eclipse with the desire to use her love of culture, art, and architecture to bring out the beauty hidden in the homes and buildings of her beloved city and the surrounding communities. Brianna is determined to build upon the existing charm of these communities. She is confident that with a focus on quality restoration, these cities can better reflect the incredible and vibrant people living within them.
