Accessory

Designer

About me

I’m a forth-year student at Savannah College of Art and Design doing a bachelor's degree in Accessory Design.
Growing up, I developed a fascination for accessories. I believe that bags and shoes are used to express and give a glimpse of a person’s lifestyle. I decided to study accessory design because I can use my creativity to make products that can be used daily. Being from the Caribbean has influenced the way I find inspiration and create. I’m motivated to help design a creative and sustainable future.
I’m looking for new experiences. Let’s connect!

Selected works

This is a convertible shoulder cross-body bag inspired by grapes for a night out.
For this knitted wall piece, I used coral reefs as inspiration and how they have been affected by global warming.
For this project, I was inspired by an architectural tent structure to create a playful shoulder bag.
For this project, I made a bag inspired by the snowboarding sport. I took as my main inspiration the snowboarding map and the trail the board leaves in the snow. I selected dopamine colors that represent the thrill of the sport.
