Megan’s passion for Arts
Megan shares her story about her passion. “I have been a freelance graphic designer for about 4 years. I was exposed to Graphic Design from my High School – Bishop Anstey High School East. This inspired my passion towards Arts. After high school, I got accepted into the New York Film Academy where I completed a Diploma in Film and Creative Design. I thought I had a passion for film, but I later discovered I had more a passion for editing. From editing within the programme, I expanded more of my knowledge on Graphic Design.”
Inspiration for my coloring book
She talks about the motivation behind Lil Trinbagonian. “I got my inspiration from another book that I did for a school project. We were assigned to make any kind of prototype based on the theme hummingbirds. I designed and produced a coloring and activity book. From there, I realised how amazing it will be if I did one based on our culture. I thought about highlighting most of our noteworthy heroes, holidays and people.”
Support from family
Megan expresses gratitude to those who helped. “I received overwhelming support from my family. They helped me in every way possible they can while I am currently pursuing abroad my education in Graphic Design.”
