SMiRK Studio was forged from a need for relatable Caribbean representation in education and everyday communication. We’re fuelled by a passion for quirky illustration, a love of scintillating local culture and the unquenchable desire to tell our collective stories.We believe that each of us has a story to share and with creativity and ingenuity, we could craft messages that resonate and reverberate.

In an effort to empower storytellers, we take action and create the cute Trinbago-inspired resources we wish existed. In two twos (translation: very soon), you would be able to grab your favorites from our online store. Until then, have a gander at some of our favorite illustrations and items from these adventures.
What Our Clients Say...
Rae is the best. Patient, enthusiastic and super encouraging! Classes were so fun and really put an interesting spin on art. Inspired me to take the leap and create my very own comic!

SMiRK Studio helped our ideas to come alive! With just mere words describing what I needed the outcome to be, Rachael was able to visualise, conceptualise and successfully produce an end result that I’m proud of. My characters now have characters!

SMiRK Studio exceeded my company's goals and expectations. They were, patient, professional and communicative. I appreciated that they understood the language I was speaking (most times) and the desires conveyed. I'm grateful and delighted to obtain high quality local service and delivery. That's what SMiRK Studio has offered and that's what was provided.

You are the best. Listened to everything SlitheringAidan wanted and created Avatars that not just looked like him but somehow portrays his personality and character. The Avatars are fun, whimsical and engaging. It was easy to talk to you. We felt like friends throughout the entire process.
Slithering Aidan
I think I came to the right place. The guidance and information they provided was really valuable to me, being so new to this publication world. The patience and professionalism was a breath of fresh air. I will definitely be using them again for my future projects. My money was well spent.
