Get To Know A B*tch…

Hi, I’m Dasia! Pronounced dah-see-ah.

I’m a 27-year-old, Trinidadian-born, London-raised, New York-living Creative - call me Miss International, citizen of the world. My story? A quest to experience spontaneity at its peak… for the plot, whilst building the courage to be ME. Growing up I was fiercely independent but it wasn’t until I left behind the familiarity of London that I truly began to embrace what that meant - the good, the bad and the ugly. The initial transition was actually super easy. As someone who moved around a lot, adjusting to new places is second nature. The emotional journey on the other hand was (EXTREMELY) challenging, but, it’s been worth every lesson.

Goodbye everyone, I'll remember you all in therapy.

As an introvert, cosplaying as an extrovert (Cancer sun + moon, Leo rising - yes, the duality is real), I like my own space. The problem is, I keep getting myself into situations that require me to be social (damn Leo’s). Since I hated the pressure to be actively posting on social media, this became a space I could connect whilst setting my own boundaries with the online world - if there is one thing I’ve learnt being in a Creative career, you need to be online. If you’re new here you should know that this website has gone through many transformations and now bridges the gap between you guys, my part-time hobbies and creative outlets. Staying in one lane has always been BORING to me (probably the undiagnosed ADHD). My journey in fashion has been about challenging the roles I put myself into. If I wanted to try something new, I’d just go for it - styling, photography, social media, design… I’ve dipped my toes into them all. We don’t have to master a skill to claim it, embrace the process.

In January 2024 (for about 14 months), I took a step back from social media, feeling like I had been ‘cosplaying’ creativity - making content instead of meaningful work. I wanted to focus on creating with intention. Recently, I’ve been interested in merging Fashion with Sustainability, Psychology and Sociology whilst exploring the themes of womanhood. Fashion is more than just clothes; it’s a tool to empower self-expression and help people feel confident, understood and celebrated. The psychological and cultural impact of Fashion spreads beyond our community. Producing any piece of work should question and explore outside of the box.

I completed one sixth of a semester at Ravensbourne University, while working retail, the year I moved to New York. After I landed, I threw myself into the deep end, running through Midtown as an unpaid intern for 2 years, aggressively freelancing and eventually becoming Backstage Director for multiple runway shows. Some of these jobs involved assisting other creatives in pursuing their craft (music, photography, production) and some were opportunities to get a real life performance review on the skills I have been developing. In these fast-paced, high-pressure environments, I grew more efficient at managing & directing creative teams in various projects. My next move is to start sharing this journey online (because I really have to these days).

For now, subscribe, work with me and enjoy the show. I really am the main character! My current profile: a socially awkward Londoner trying (and failing) to reinvent herself in a new city.

Welcome to my world.
