Somerton Summers is an idea inspired by the recollections of my youth in Somerton, a small countryside town deep within the parish of St. Ann, Jamaica. Somerton was brimming with beauty, and it's natural flora provided me and my family with both sustenance and sensory delight. With every one of my creations, I draw on the essence of my youth and pay homage to the land which nurtured me.
As we navigate our adult lives, we are perpetually at risk of overlooking the principles which ground us, such as our connection to nature and maintaining a youthful interpretation of the world; I hope to inspire people to not only acknowledge, but to embrace, both concepts. Every one of my products puts a little bit of Somerton in your hands, and hopefully also reminds you to be still and appreciate a moment of sensory gratification. I hope you enjoy using them as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Thanks for stopping by.
Walk Good. Love and protect you earth space.
