About me
I'm a creative professional specialising in textile art, fashion, and creative direction. I hold a BA with Honours in Fine Art and an MA in Creative Direction, complemented by a foundation program that encompassed Western philosophy, sociology, art history, and literature. This multidisciplinary background fuels my passion for storytelling and informs my practice of blending painting and fashion techniques. In addition to my roles at The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas, the Creative Exchange Agency, and Fendi’s couture and WRTW teams, I founded my own studio specialising in sustainable artisan practices in fashion. My work has been featured at The Current: ECCHO and The Savoy, and I am honoured to have been selected for the National Exhibition at The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas in March 2025. Passionate about crafting narratives that celebrate diversity, I aim to bridge creativity and commerce, inspiring meaningful connections across the industry
