I am a passionate and experienced Brand and Marketing Strategist with a global reputation for providing high-quality marketing solutions. My unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional work has earned me an international reputation, and I am proud to have established myself as a leader in this industry.

In 2011, I established Creative Obsessions, a full-service Brand and Marketing Agency that specializes in everything from brand development to website design, marketing materials, and advertising creative. As the owner of this company, I am responsible for everything from the overall vision to day-to-day operations, and I am proud to have built a team of talented professionals who share my passion for creativity and excellence.

In 2016, I expanded my entrepreneurial portfolio by becoming the owner of Bamboo Balance, a Yoga and Mindfulness company, that aligns with my personal values of health, wellness, and mindfulness. As a certified yoga and mindfulness teacher for 7 years with over 1000 hours of training, I am dedicated to helping individuals find balance and inner peace through yoga and mindfulness practices. I have guided countless students on their journey to physical and mental well-being, drawing from my expertise as an adventurer and lover of the outdoors, as well as my experiences as a world traveler originally from New Orleans and currently living in Maryland.

My academic journey began with a BFA in Graphic Design from Howard University in Washington, DC. I then went on to earn a Masters of Graphic Design from the Florence Design Academy in Florence, Italy. Thanks to my education, I have been able to develop a keen eye for detail, a deep understanding of design principles, and the ability to create memorable and impactful marketing materials with clear, concise messages and clean designs.

In addition to my successful business ventures, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with the next generation of creative professionals. As a professor of graphic design and entrepreneurship at Howard University, I combine my love for design and creativity with my love for mindfulness. I teach my students how to build fulfilling creative careers in the creative industry without stress and burnout. I believe that by incorporating mindfulness practices into their daily lives, students will be able to approach their work with greater focus, creativity, and resilience. I am committed to shaping the future of this industry by empowering the next generation of creative professionals.

Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure of working with a variety of clients, including the Smithsonian Institution, International Press Institute, and Howard University. I am dedicated to building strong brands by creating memorable materials that resonate with audiences and clearly communicate messages.

I absolutely love what I do, and I am constantly dreaming up new layouts, grids, and branding guides. Whether you need fresh creative concepts or want to enhance existing materials, I am confident that I can deliver marketing solutions that will exceed your expectations.
