I am a graphic artist with almost twenty years of experience in branding, print and large format
design. I grew up in my parents’ graphic and sign company in St. Maarten and started my career
as an in-house graphic artist for a local print shop. That foundation gave me a strong understanding of production, from layout and file preparation to finished signs.

Alongside a long term freelance practice with loyal regional clients, my hospitality management
experience has strengthened my leadership, communication and time management skills, so I
work well in fast paced, customer focused environments and stay calm under tight deadlines.
