Old Black Hollywood

I love love LOVE the glamour and the classic look of old hollywood but I have an affinity to the Black actresses who often get forgotten. Dorothy Dandrige, Eartha Kitt, Josephine Baker, Billy Holiday and Lena Horne are some of my favorites. (I alternate their pictures on my desktop) These women were so talented and great at their craft and their faces make me want to work harder to my dream.

Old Design Work

This is some of my old school work but for some reason I still find it so relevant. So... I decided to post it!


Design Chair

When I was in college (which was only a few months ago... lol) I was the design chair in my sorority and my sisters put me to work. I was responsible for flyers mostly and I made sure that whatever I was working on had style and would attract a crowd. Here are my favorites!

My Sorority Sister ran for Homecoming Queen. She made top 5!

Posh's Blog

My sorority sister and very good friend, Courtnee (Baby Posh is what we like to call her) asked me to design a logo for her fashion blog and I was so flattered that she asked. She has great taste and for her to fall in love with what I created made me feel so proud. Here is what I designed!

P.S. Take a look at her blog at loveandposhion.com! :0)



Blessed with a Gift

I have been a member of First African Baptist Church since I was a child and I have always been involved.  However after I returned home from college, I truly learned my placed with my congregation. I was able to design and help create an entire new brand identity for my church. I am responsible for flyers, pamphlets, and whatever design work that needs to be done. Everyone as been receptive to the change and I am proud to say that I had a hand in the branding of the church. Here are are a few samples!
