In two thousand fourteen, my journey began,
Into Canva's realm, a creative wonderland.
With tools at my fingertips and a vision in mind,
I left Photoshop's crashes and glitches behind.

Oh Canva, you've been my companion so true,
Through years of designing, you've pulled me through.
A graphic designer's dream, you came to be,
Unleashing my talents, setting my creativity free.

No more endless struggles, no more software strife,
Canva, you've been a ray of digital life.
Social media's canvas, you've helped me paint,
With templates and features that never grow faint.

From Instagram posts to banners so bold,
You've turned every challenge into pure gold.
Time and money you've saved, a priceless feat,
Empowering my art, making it complete.

Through updates and features, you've continued to bloom,
Like a technicolor dream in a digital room.
Editing photos and more, a seamless affair,
With Canva by my side, I've no worries to bear.

As a trained graphic designer, I've found my muse,
In your intuitive platform, I never lose.
So on this special day, I raise a toast,
To Canva, the creative friend I love the most.

Happy Birthday, dear Canva, may your future shine bright,
For you've transformed my world with your guiding light.
Thank you for the years of design so grand,
With you as my ally, I'll forever stand.

Take me back to (two years ago now! 🤣🤣🤣) when life was simple and all I had to do was balance sitting on a floater and drink a cocktail.
Not quite!

This was a brand sponsored trip and we were tasked with creating content for a makeup brand and the villa. But yeah it was the start of the amazing journey that is . The villa gained almost 1,000 followers in 24 hours and now has become an iconic location in Treasure Beach for pics!

Rarely do I talk about my work on my personal page but this is some of the images I’ve produced in the last few years.

Of course, there’s more. (They all can’t fit 😭)

If you understand visual communication, you’d know that creative direction is where art direction, design and strategy all come together.

Throughout my career, I’ve had to multi-task. If you’re on a nimble team- Producer, prop master, art director, location scout, are some hats you might have to wear.

Many brands are now seeing the value of Vishal content and not the stock image kind.

Customers today won’t just settle for any visual, they want a mixture of quality and authenticity that communicates why any brand is worth paying attention to. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

'Cause nothing like a woman when she in bloom🌹✨

It’s Wednesday which means it’s almost Friday 🙂

Where are you going this weekend?

The other day, I posted in my stories asking people what content they would like to see more of, most of you said travel!

So…tell me which spots do you want me to check out on your behalf because well, it’s for research purposes.

Take me back to 2020 when we celebrated working with for .

I spent most of my time organizing the bloggers and covering the events.

By the way, the ‘Jamaica Jamaica’ exhibition is on until the end of the month. Be sure to check it out if you haven’t yet.

Initially launched at Philharmonie de Paris in 2017 and titled after the 1985 hit song by Brigadier “The General” Jerry, Jamaica, Jamaica! examines Jamaica has become an extraordinary force in the world heritage and history of music.

This exhibition aims at showcasing a broader vision that has allowed the world to know the island’s music, by digging deep into its past and present in search for the roots of “rebel music”, beyond the cliché and the postcard.

It’s been two years. Two years since I started my little .

A friend reminded me yesterday of what brought me to this point. Twenty years of working as a designer, account executive, and then working in media where I laid the foundation. PR wasn’t where I started but telling stories is what I do best and I realize I had to go through this process to get where I am now.

The greatest gift that has gotten me to this point though has been working with content creators in the Caribbean space. I’ve met so many interesting people and learned so much from them.

I’m still learning as the technology continues to evolve but I’m so happy I get to work with such talent every day.

My role has changed in the past two years from trying to do everything myself to becoming an executive producer and letting my team work their magic. I’m excited about what’s to come. 2022 looking like 👍🏾 ✨🌊🇯🇲🌴

The currency of real networking is not greed but generosity.

and I have been talking in the DMs for awhile. I gave him some go-to spots in my favourite place, Treasure beach, St Elizabeth 🏖 and then I invited him to the ‘west’ to explore a couple of weeks ago Charela Inn Hotel]. 🌥

I love all the work he’s been doing with and of course writing about content creators in the Caribbean.

If you know me, you know how excited I am about the growth of the community.

I normally charge to create an itinerary but I promised myself that staycationers would get the best advice for free because, well 🇯🇲!

So happy to connect with him irl. We definitely need another link up! Where to next?

You can't dull my sparkle ✨
They told me starting was boastful, they didn't know it was aspirational. We hosted a 'paint & sip' for the JamaicaDeli Foodies & Wellness Retreat for our . We've been curating experiences since before the pandemic and now it's even more fun as our ideas get bigger and BIGGER!

They said starting was 'crazy', it's been two years and we are thriving in a pandemic!

One word of advice: Drown out the noise, keep your head down and execute. Surround yourself with people who support your vision, even if that only person is YOU.
