Inspired by my uber-talented, multi-hyphenate mother, my OG crafty queen, I gravitated towards art at an early age. As a black woman who came of age in New York City, I was immersed in the diverse culture and how various artists expressed themselves and their heritage through multiple mediums. Fortunately, I was blessed to have found mentorship via my high school art teachers, who introduced me to graphic design and art as a career.

With an introduction to Jean-Michel Basquiat, my fellow Haitian-American, the gift of a second-hand iPad, and a thirst for the knowledge I had yet to learn, I finished art school with a degree in graphic design. A couple of entertainment and advertising internships later (shoutouts to Showtime, Laundry Service, and Superfly), I landed a cool gig at GALE Partners, where I currently work as a motion designer. During these periods, I have learned skills such as photo editing, creating eye-catching, engaging content for social media, designing pitch decks, animating brand assets, and meeting speedy deadlines. However, just like my mother, I am a woman of many interests and have carved out this special corner of the internet to share my art at the intersection of activism and black pride.
