While in San Juan he worked in many hotel resorts acquiring years of experience in Customer Service.

In 1990, Victor moved to South Florida while working for a consulting engineer firm, after a while he went back to pursue hospitality although he wanted to live a “normal life” with weekends off.

He has obtained several awards including the Golden Aurora for the films, the Coffee Shop Robbery and It’s About Time, from Christopher DeStefano Productions.

His new interest is Franovik Designs and its divisions (models&designers magazine, Elements of Green fashion shows, Fashion Designers Association Florida, FashoModa Consulting, and the Miss Eco America domain-something for the future).

As owner of the green fashion company, Victor works hard at the daily operations of FRANOVIK Designs from negotiations to marketing. He in involved in every aspect, he does not let anything go out without his approval or signature.

With that being said, Victor has managed to feature Franovik Designs garments on music videos, local telenovelas, international pageants including Miss Universe organization, are registered in all the major award shows and were in the pilot of the new Charlies Angels, shoot on South Beach, Florida.

He and his partner have been working on for years now; they take time to discuss visions and Illustrate designs on paper, the paper design goes to Francisco for its creation, then Victor designs all the accessories for every garment.
