About me
For the past decade, I have fully immersed myself in creating interactive digital experiences by studying screens of gadgets that are popular to varying demographics. I believe that everything operates in multi-screen and I enjoy creating rich, attention-grabbing experiences that not only communicates—but engages the user. I am an early adopter who followed my dreams from the Caribbean to reside in New York. I am also a published illustrator, ultramarathon runner, and triathlete. I've worked on clients such as GSK, Pfizer, LG Electronics, Dice.com, Cartier, Sanofi Aventis, Sanofi Pasteur, Cap Gemini, Bank of America, General Mills, Barnes and Noble, CIMZIA, Pristiq, Astellas, Reckitt Benckiser and Heineken to name a few. As a graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology, an institute that reflects degrees of the modern times, I've studied New Media Design which influenced my love of trying to predict what the next innovative niche in Advertising might be.

    28 days of Black History MonthEach year I research relatively unknown contributers of Black History and share with my audience.

    "The new media design major is for students who are fascinated by visual design, user experience design, interactivity, motion graphics, and technology. Students learn the skills required to meet the demands of new media, web design, and mobile app marketplaces. Courses, projects, and explorations allow students to create user-centered solutions that leverage new opportunities in visual design, communication, and user experiences across a full spectrum of digital products and interfaces. A balance of visual design foundations, information design, user interface design, user experience design, 3D modeling, motion graphics, usability research, and programming create the skilled background needed to design cutting-edge interactive solutions from mobile to fully immersive digital environments. Collaborations with students from RIT’s new media interactive development major (housed in the B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences), as well as other majors and corporate clients, provide teamwork experience and leverage the designer-programmer-client relationship. Students are well-positioned for careers in visual, interactive, and user experience design for digital advertising, marketing, mobile, web application, entertainment, and corporate design."
