My name is Kit Joseph and I'm a Trinidadian comic artist/illustrator based in Savannah, Georgia. After completing an MFA and MA at SCAD, I am looking to launch my career as an educator and artist with a focus on visual, narrative storytelling. Previous to my late in life Master’s, I was a video editor where I focused on stories about sports personalities and then Parliamentary figures. I then became a teacher and my passion for art was reignited by sharing my skills with the youth. I taught for 6 years and then I entered my life changing Masters program. Not only was I surrounded by art and artists that pushed me, they also validated my yearning for stories and storytelling with visual art. Now, I am looking to tell the stories I was born to with a new drive and of course confidence that my voice is worth hearing.
