Hi, I am a rising third year Graphic Design major with a minor in advertisting student at RIT. I am from Brooklyn, NY the most fun borough in the city. I enjoy hanging outside with friends, shopping and traveling to different countries.
Interesting facts:
When I travel, I always collect a snowglobe from that country as a physical memory.
For my 2021 goal I decided to learn how to do protective hairstyles like box braids, hair installs on my own.
I'm considered a "Yankee" because I have a Jamaican family but I was born in the U.S.
I attended an all-girls school in middle school until my sophmore year in highschool.
My favorite singer is Summer Walker, she is an RnB singer from Atlanta, Georgia. Her music is very pleasing and she doesn't have any bad songs. My favorite song by her is "Just Might" (ft PARTYNEXTDOOR), which is the featured audio.
I enjoy eating steak and mash potatoes, authentic food like street tacos and my Jamaican food because thats what I grew up on. Jamaican food such as jerk chicken, curry goat and oxtail are my top choices.
I like brownies paired with vanilla icecream because it taste really good and there isn't too much sweetness because the vanilla icecream calms it down.
Emmett McBain was a Chicago based graphic designer, art director, activist and educator, who began his career in the mid 1950s. I admire his artwork/designs and his concepts illustrated through his work. He gave back to his community by surrounding his career around using black life as a muse for his work. I noticed how he mainly worked with black designers and became successful, advancing his career rapidly. Learning about Emmett McBain taught me to appreciate design and to keep producing work to show future employers and to advance my skills in design production. Mcbain surrounded himself with his culture and spotlighted black talent which led to society appreciating black culture and more companies started to hire more black creators and models. McBain left a legacy as an inspiring role model for black designers in the industry.
