Background and Services




Since 2016, I have not provided any dance performance services. Additionally, I have not engaged in providing complimentary services for an extended period. My involvement in educational services came to an end in 2018, and I have since moved away from that aspect of my work entirely. It is crucial for me to maintain a high level of respect and accuracy in my professional endeavors, particularly as I have dedicated considerable time to branding, creating digital art, and delivering my services.

While my past experiences are no longer the primary focus of my career, it is essential to recognize the breadth of my background. My journey has been shaped by a variety of roles and responsibilities that have contributed to my overall diverse array of expertise. The skills and insights I have gained over the years continue to inform my work, even as I have transitioned away from certain services. This evolution reflects my commitment to growth and adaptation in a rapidly changing landscape.

The experiences I have accumulated throughout my career serve as a foundation for each encounter. Understanding this context is vital for anyone looking to engage with my work, as it highlights the importance of my past while emphasizing my current focus in the realm of branding, digital art and service provision.

ClearHonesty

    My journey into the world of consulting began during my high school years at Bell Multicultural High School, where I participated in the Congressional Art Competition between 1992 and 1993. At that time, I was just a teenager, navigating the complexities of adolescence while immersing myself in the vibrant world of art. This experience not only honed my artistic skills but also opened doors to new opportunities, allowing me to explore the intersection of creativity and professional development. Drawing from my formal education in the visual arts, I have developed a unique approach to consulting that emphasizes creativity and innovation. My background enables me to devise strategies that are not only effective but also visually compelling.
