About The Designer
A love for beautiful things is Tonya’s passion, and she is inspired by the classic styles of Ali McGraw, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Grace Kelly, and modern icons Charlize Theron and Sandra Bullock.Tonya’s life experiences have led her through Asia and Europe, and her collection of treasures both physical and intrinsic from all over the world have blended to inspire the SOGNO lines.
Full of life, fashion-forward, and family-focused, Tonya is a quietly charismatic individual who seeks out the beauty in everything and everyone.She takes great pride in her efforts to be a giving wife, a caring mother, and a great friend to many. She refuses to follow the pack, is consistently a trend setter, and - of course - a fashionista who takes great pleasure in helping others find their own style.
After many years in the corporate world, she took a leap of faith to pursue her lifelong dream of design and launched SOGNO from her home. A mother of two beautiful boys with lyrical Italian names like her husband, Tonya plans to show them the world and teach them about the rich cultures both within and outside the U.S.
The SOGNO vision is to make the wearer feel comfortable and polished, whether you are wearing a white T-shirt or a silk dress; a Sogno piece easily goes from a day at the office, to an evening out on the town, to a weekend visiting friends.
