*In 2016 Kmusic and Design was born. *In 2019 I decided to dedicate all of my attention to expanding my dream business with the knowledge I have gained throughout my educational journey. *In 2023 I decided to transition from "a jack of all trades" to "a master of selected few". -Teaching Piano -Creating and selling Art........ I have not chosen the specific medium/discipline I would like to create in yet.... I am leaning towards Surface Pattern Design or Paintings.
I look forward to spreading my knowledge, creativity and love of the arts to help others learn, enjoy, enhance, and succeed in what they want to do.
