I am now Design Lady NYC.

I have been on Blackplanet for 9 years! I remember when BlackPlanet used to be the thing back then, pre web 2.0. I enjoyed creating layouts that went besides the norm.

I had fun. I have a new life now, no more breaking BP code...

I am now older and an interactive graphic designer (same field).

I am here for friends.
------------------------------
I am here to reconnect with people who I used to know along here.
People who have mentored me, and maybe even new friends.
I grew up in the caribbean and has dominated most of the web from since I was 11 years old. From that age, I was very aware of my dreams. I landed my first professional job when I was 14 and by the time I was 15 I was a published illustrator and savvy programmer. I also became the youngest professional web designer in the Virgin Islands and made my debut in the local paper.
Always an honor student,I attended a Science-Math Magnet high school and after 4 years realized that I might not be happy changing the world by being a Chemical Engineer or Politician. I always had many hobbies. After attending Yale University as an up and coming Junior Statesman, I realized that my favorite hobby would shape my future when I ended up creating memorabilia for everyone at the program.

My luck began when I chose Rochester Institute of Technology as my post secondary education. I started off as a Graphic Designer and quickly switched to the more popular career field, New Media Design & Imaging. I decided that I would be an interactive designer. To this day, I spends much of my time creating things that I refuses to believe that is work.
