the human behind it all.
The creator that specializes in developing and producing projects through the combination of using more than one medium of expression or communication.
"a multimedia artist."
Eccentric.
I’m building a socially conscious digital empire that pushes boundaries and challenges conventions.
As a multi-disciplinary creator, you might see my name tagged in countless projects across diverse platforms, often without fully knowing the depth of my contributions.
As a non-conforming optimist, I’m driven by a relentless desire to master a wide range of skills. For me, creativity knows no limits—art is an ever-evolving expression, and I embrace every medium to bring it to life in unexpected ways.
Meet Annastasiya.
the multi-disciplinary creator
I grew up in the South, with deep ties to my Haitian and Jamaican roots. My youth was spent traveling between New York and my home countries.
Coming from a family rich in culture, I see America only as an opportunity to amplify my voice.
As an only child much of my childhood was spent in solitude. This time alone became a canvas for my creativity, with drawing and painting being my first vice from an early age. I started a clothing line a 7 years old called “Dripping Strawberries” with the help of my grandmother Denise which is a story for another day. But growing up in a West Indies household, where creative pursuits weren’t always viewed as practical was hard, I often found myself navigating a path without encouragement or examples to follow.
From a young age, I was deeply self-aware and hyper-independent. I learned to be both my own nurturer and teacher but I had an overwhelming expectation of perfection which led me to often neglect my own desires in favor of meeting external expectations.
When it came time to apply for college, I was still operating from a place of obligation, not choice. I thought I was satisfying myself with my new business venture, as I started a custom jewelry line with a friend called “Vice” short for Miami Vice which was the first party I went when on my 18th birthday at Gramps in Wynwood as a vendor.
Anyways, following my mother’s suggestion, I pursued business marketing and by the time of my sophomore year a shift sparked. I didn’t know much about anthropology at the time, but I followed my intuition and made the decision to pursue something unbeknownst to myself or family. That choice, though uncertain, turned out to be one of the most liberating and transformative decisions of my life.
Fast forward, and I found myself moving through managerial positions while juggling this new obligation I had to convey my true self through creativity.
Life became a whirlwind, and my constant complaints about my job started to take a toll— Balancing multiple roles while finishing my final semester in school, working jobs at a distance, was overwhelming. Then…the pandemic hit, stripping away everything for eight months.
Those eight months of uncertainty became a pivotal period of self-awakening. I rediscovered my creative spark, selling custom painted wine bottles and canvases. When the world began to reopen, I was asked to return to my previous medical position, but after two short months, I realized this path no longer aligned with who I become.
Since October 2020, I’ve fully embraced my creative career as a designer, makeup artist, hair stylist—and so much more. I’ve finished school during a pandemic, and am currently getting my Masters. My journey has been one of resilience and transformation. While there are countless untold chapters, my life story is one of perseverance, strength, and gratitude. With every challenge, I rise higher, often finding unsung moments of gratitude in the struggle.
I’m deeply thankful for everyone who has supported me—whether directly or indirectly—and even for those who haven’t, because every experience is shaping me into a better version of myself. I’ve learned to surrender what I thought I needed to receive everything I desire. I’m excited to see what the next chapter holds, and I invite you to stay tuned.
