In this first ever episode of the Hello from The Pluriverse Podcast, we interview Tanya Marie Williams-Rhule, an independent designer and brand consultant and the executive Designer of Designer Island, an online publication curating contemporary Caribbean culture. To Tanya Marie, design is so much more than designing for the project and the need, it is about communicating and listening. 

Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, Tanya Marie's identity is not only rooted in her upbringing in the Caribbean but also the work she does to explore the "Caribbean aesthetic" and expand it past the limited definitions it has been given; she seeks to expand and explore the diversity of Caribbean creators through her work.
