Why this archive exists.

In my early twenties, while facing the loss of my mother—the first creative I ever knew—I began thinking about what happens to a lifetime of creative work when there is no place built to preserve it.

She drew, painted, carved and made things with her hands. At the time, I had no meaningful way to preserve the full story of her creative life. That absence left me with a lasting desire to protect the evidence of making: the work itself, the evolution behind it, and the life it records.

I imagined something like a Library of Alexandria for graphic design: a place where creatives could publish their life’s work and where visitors could move through it chronologically, as they would through a museum. The idea felt somewhat morbid at the time so I never spoke about it, but I also stopped wanting it.

The Complete Works is the first realization of that idea. It documents more than a decade of my own practice—not only the finished designs, but the movement of a creative life through time. Perhaps, one day, it will become a place where other Caribbean creatives can preserve theirs too.
