The Small Details
My name is Dekeiya N. Armstrong, CWEP. I am the proud Owner & Head Designer of DNA Designs and Events. I was born in Brooklyn, but I'm a Harlem girl by default (I was raised there). I started my career as a sociotherpist for children in therapeutic foster care after receiving my Bachelor's degree in psychology. I then went on to pursue a Masters in Education and became a high school special education teacher. Although I enjoy teaching, I knew there was something missing from my life.
Ok...the real reason you're here. How did I get into event planning and design?
Since young, I was always into the arts. I danced for Alvin Ailey Dance Company and participated in many extracurricular activities that showcased my creative mind. My love for event planning and designing evolved from my love of celebrating birthdays, especially mine. My birthday has always been "a holiday" to me. I first began with decor for my own birthday events. That then expanded to decorating for family and friends, and now for you.
I find solace in being able to breathe life into the thoughts in one's head; allowing them to live in their dream for a moment in time, to create a lifetime of memories. I can't wait to connect with you and manifest your picture-perfect event!
Enthusiastically,
Dee
