H.A. has two prominent areas of gifting. One in organization. The other in creativity and design. Over the years she has used those gifts to create, manage and execute projects involving interior design, project management, graphic design, marketing, event planning, show production, writing, and travel planning. H.A. has an incredible eye for detail, tireless energy, the “big picture” ability of a director, the organization of a producer, and can multi-task like a professional juggler.

In her own words . . .

“Deciding to expand on some of the things I love to do, a few years ago, I started a company called ‘Elegant Occasions by H. A. Schiavone’. The business expanded in several directions and in my first year, I had the exciting opportunity to create and implement projects including a New Year’s Eve Dinner Show and Count Down Party, a West Coast Swing training workshop with one of the top professionals in the industry, and a 3 week European group-travel excursion. It was a very busy year!

In 2020, despite [seemingly] insurmountable odds, I took over a dance studio in the City of Moorpark with the idea of converting it into a full blown Event Center. The project has been s-l-o-w-l-y coming together in spite of all the challenges presented in 2020 and 2021. As things continue to shift and change, we remain excited about all the wonderful possibilities / opportunities to serve the community.”
