Interdisciplinary Artist + Designer: Born in Jamaica and raised in Ontario, Canada, my immigrant background has deeply influenced both my life and artistic pursuits.Formally trained in garment design, furniture design, and textile/fibre arts, I embrace a boundary-breaking approach to creativity. Beyond my studies, I immerse myself in diverse mediums such as storytelling through photography and drawing. This interdisciplinary journey allows me to infuse a unique perspective into my work, seamlessly blending techniques and concepts from various disciplines to craft compelling and meaningful designs.Majoring in Textiles and Material Arts my education provides a robust foundation in design principles and techniques, but it's my passion for exploring the diasporic experience that propels my design practice forward.In my creations, I seek to open doors to new realms of travel and ideation, aspiring to develop a design practice that dives into and elevates the diasporic narrative. I firmly believe that design holds the power to connect people, weave together cultures, and ignite change. I am dedicated to leveraging my creativity to leave an impact and a distinctive perspective of the world.
