ME TALKING ABOUT

MYSELF

SCAD graduate with a Master’s degree in Graphic Design & Visual Experience. I’m a designer that values creating something that doesn’t exist and giving it life. I’m always seeking a clean and sleek design when it comes to my work. I’m always thinking outside of the box and coming up with other elements that can make the design stronger and speak louder to the audience. My experience comes from, designing for my college, NAPA and my own personal freelance work.

Coming from a small island in the Dutch Caribbean, we tend to think of new and innovative ways to reach our end goals, as not everything is at our disposal.

If I’m not designing you can find me off the grid with my Jeep or in the garage fixing the Jeep that I most likely broken on the trail. My sense of adventure stems from an openness to new things and always seeking possibilities.  Even though I come from a very small island in the Dutch Caribbean, I’m here to prove that my work can stand out  from the rest.
