Visual Art – Miami

I am a fashion designer & illustrator. As a young child, I was always interested in the arts. I attended Charles R. Drew Elementary and Middle School where I was involved in the magnet arts program. During those years I developed a love for fashion. I continued to further my education by attending the Design and Architecture Senior High School where I majored in Fashion Design. While in high school I had the opportunity to show some of my work at Rosemary Reed- Miller’s book signing for, “The Threads of Time: The Fabric of History” and at Funkshion: Fashion Week Miami Beach. Some accomplishments of mine have been winning first place in the Dade-County Youth Fair Fashion Show business wear competition, being awarded a Gold Key for Regional Portfolio Finalist and a Silver Key for National Portfolio Finalist in the Scholastics Art and Writing Awards. My dedication and drive landed me a full- tuition scholarship to the Columbus College of Art and Design where i majored in Fashion Design. While in college, i participated and placed in Fashion competitions, had a photo spread of my Senior Collection displayed in Capital Style Magazine and also took part in a tv segment on Daytime Columbus with Gail Hogan. My goal is to one day have my own fashion brand and showcase my work on every major runway and in every worldwide fashion magazine.
