MORE ABOUT ME I was born and raised in the twin-island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. As a teenager, I incessantly chattered about creating a clothing brand and daydreamed about traveling the world. It is with great pride, that I can now say, I am living my dream. I currently live in Shanghai, where I create designs that I would like to add to my closet, travel to places that I’m curious about, and meet inspiring individuals along the way. I’ve also created a blog that facilitates a space that fosters the celebration of women, travel and inspires each other through our stories. My designs make me feel empowered to take on the unpredictable world that we live in and I hope that they embolden you too! Ready, Set, Go Places!
