I am a Haiti native, born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. I migrated from Haiti to Dominican Republic, Dominica, St. Thomas, and finally Miami, Florida. I started my architectural education at Miami-Dade College, and currently, I am the President of the American Institute of Architecture student chapter at Tuskegee University. My goal for every platform I occupied is to serve, motivate, and teach creatives to better themselves skillfully and academically.
My passion for architecture develops as I
understood the influence a building has on a community. Through Afro-centric
architecture, I learned how to design sustainable spaces for my Haitian
community. Afrocentric Architecture is very detailed and has specific elements
that speak to individual ethnic groups.
My
involvement with CPDI Africa was focused on Haitian architecture by designing a cultural resort that incorporates signature Haitian architectural elements.
Within the Ti-Kay Resort, I include the high-double doors, cross railing, and
the colorful arts.
Joining CPDI increased my design knowledge. I valued the preservation of the gingerbread-style homes originated in Haiti. During my CPDI journey, my network expanded across the world. I was able to build relationships with great afro-centric architects of our time.
