How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?
I always enjoyed designing and drawing, understanding how things work and its effect on people. From a teenager it would appear my mind was made up.

What do you do?
As the principal of an emerging practice in the Caribbean, my work centers around residential & commercial projects, gaining new clients, and curating the adjacent design needs of the clients, from traditional services to graphic design.

What excites you in the work you do?
I’m thrilled by the idea of good design being accessible to more people.

Who or what inspires you professionally?
I believe a rising tide should lift all boats so inspiration comes from the reciprocity of family and peers. I’m inspired by other young architects that desire to define their space, design identity and evolve a Caribbean Architecture.

What is your proudest professional accomplishment or achievement?
Starting my practice in 2019
