My Professional Story
From Tech to Branding Design Consultant
As a Florida native with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems from Florida A&M University (Go Rattlers!), I began my career in IT with Orange County Government—where I’ve proudly served for over 25 years. My tech background gave me a strong foundation for helping business owners upgrade their digital presence. Over time, my passion for creativity and design led me to launch DesignDiva Studios, where I blend technical expertise with creative strategy to build brands that shine.
My Philosophy & Mission
Branding with Heart & Strategy
I believe branding isn’t just about a logo or a website—it’s about how your business shows up in the world. My mission is to empower everyday entrepreneurs—especially women—to feel confident, capable, and proud of their brand. As a consultant, I combine creative design with clear guidance, making the process simple, approachable, and stress-free.
