Want more?
I didn't plan to be a designer. I started in print production. First as a bearer, then promoted to production manager overseeing every job that came through the door.
When the company grew and needed another graphic designer, I took the opportunity to learn. It wasn't part of the plan. At all.
After a few years, I wanted more adventure. So I went freelance. That was over 14 years ago and I'm still going.
Since then I've evolved into a multimedia designer and e-learning developer. I build websites, interactive training modules, training videos, and brand identities for clients in the Caribbean, North America and beyond.
I work across industries but I have a soft spot for coaches, creatives, and anyone trying to make a difference in their corner of the world.
I look for joy in everything I do. If I'm not enjoying it, I'm not doing it well. So I'm selective about the work I take on and I'm fully present with the ones that I do.
When I sign on for a project, it becomes as much mine as it is yours. I want the best possible outcome for you and your clients. When they win, we all win. And let's be real, who doesn't like winning?

I'll treat you to something special if you guess which one is which.
Hi there!
It's me, Renée.
TL;DR — I'm cool. In my own way. ☺
Describe myself in five words you say?
Goofy, multi-talented, sensitive, curious, playfully serious, and probably thinking about food right now. (Oops, that's more than five)
Why do I do this work?
Being of service has always been at the top of my values list. Design and navigating (some) tech comes naturally to me, and I'm deeply aware that it doesn't come naturally to everyone. So when I can use skills I genuinely enjoy to help someone who genuinely needs it, that feels like the winning formula.
Bonus points when that someone is out here helping other people too. Your work makes a difference, my work helps your work reach further. Everyone wins, yay!
Plus, I love a challenge. I love diving into a project. I love clickety-clacking on my keyboard. And I especially love the moment a client sees it all come together. That moment when they exhale and shout "I have a website now, yay!" Love it.
That's why I do this.
