About

Zoya Shepherd is a writer, designer and researcher born in Barbados. Working through the disciplines of visual communication and inclusive design she aims to tell stories and solve problems that positively impact humanity. In 2011 she graduated with Honours in BFA Graphic Design and spent 10 years on a creative walkabout that brought her to Contexture, the graduating component of the Master of Design in Inclusive Design at OCAD University. It is her hope that this work inspires the minds of West Indians both at home and in the diaspora.
