Welcome to my blog...welcome to me

I have been a student of design since I opened my eyes in Mandeville, Jamaica. I did not learn the rules in a formal setting, however I have developed my own, which are intrinsically tied to the masters'. Feeling the embrace of colour and the grace of composition, I follow my instincts and my heart to create tailored spaces, events and displays.
