Originally from Trinidad & Tobago, I trained at the John S. Donaldson Tech Institute in Home Economics.  I also attended Tech Teachers Training College in Tobago.  I taught Home Economics (Dressmaking and Design, Food & Nutrition) at a high school for 23 years.

I have been a custom dressmaker/designer for over 30 years.  I have designed and made clothing for beauty pageants, weddings, (both traditional and African), staged several fashion shows in Trinidad, supplied garments for local boutiques and designed a gown for the President’s Inaugural Ball here in the United States.

I have resided in Atlanta for the past five years.  I migrated to the United States in 2000.  Before coming to Atlanta, I lived in New York then Boston where I helped organize a fashion show at my church in Boston, which featured fashion through the years and again at my church in Atlanta.

I have a passion for designing and making special occasion gowns, resort wear, hand-painted garments and couture style clothing.  I love helping young designers realize their dreams of launching their first line by offering pattern making and sewing services at competitive prices.  My current project is working on producing a line of garments made from organic silks, cotton soy and bamboo, in an effort to support a green environment.

The name of my business,”Quantum3Design” was coined from the names of three people who inspired me to keep my dream alive:  My two sons QU (Quincy), ANT (Anton) and my mother,  UM (Unallia McCledan) who was an awesome dressmaker (now deceased).  Quantum suggests a LEAP of faith into the future!
