ABOUT ME

ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF, MY NAME IS KENNITHA GRANT, FORMALLY KNOWN AS 
THE BAHATI STUDIO.

MY LOVE FOR DESIGN CAME AT A VERY YOUNG AGE.  I WOULD CONSTRUCT OBJECTS, RECONFIGURE OBJECTS, AND COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES.  DURING THIS YOUNG PHASE, I WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE IN THE CLASS THAT THOUGHT BEYOND THE BOX OF INSTRUCTION GIVEN TO ME.  DURING MY YOUNG CREATIVE PROCESS AT THE TIME, I WOULD BE THE ONE TO MIX CRAYONS TO PRODUCE A NEW COLOR PALETTE.  THIS MIXING OF COLORS AND CRAFTING LEAD ME TO THE DIRECTION OF THE WORLD OF FASHION, WHERE THERE LIES MANY COLORS.  

 I WAS CONSIDERED A BIT OF A TREND SETTER, A RISK-TAKER.  RUNWAY WAS SO FASCINATING AT THE TIME; IT SERVED AS EDUCATION AND A VISUAL PRESENTATION.  I REMEMBER BUYING MY FIRST VOGUE MAGAZINE AND THE MAGAZINE CONTINUED TO PROVIDE ME WITH EDUCATION OF THE WORLD OF HIGH FASHION.  THIS DISTINCTIVE APPROACH TO DESIGN INSPIRED ME TO WATCH "LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS" I FIGURED THIS SHOW WOULD INTRODUCE ME TO THOSE WHO LOVE IT AND LIVE IT. THIS WAS THE BEST SOURCE TO SEE THESE BEAUTIFUL PIECES IN ACTION.  

AFTER RECEIVING FORMAL EDUCATION IN BUSINESS AND FASHION.  
I BEGAN THE PATHWAY OF WORKING IN LUXURY FASHION.  WORKING FOR BURBERRY OF LONDON FOR MANY YEARS SATISIFED MY CRAVING FOR STRUCTURE, FORM, MODERNISM, MINIMALISM, AND GLOBAL DESIGN.  

I BEGAN TO INTERACT WITH PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO DESIRED A LUXURY REFLECTIVE OF HISTORY AND PURPOSE.  A TRENCHCOAT IN EUROPE IS QUITE ESSENTIAL AND PURPOSEFUL.  MY APPRENTICESHIP WITH CALVIN KLEIN COLLECTION UNDER THE CREATIVE DIRECTION OF FRANCISCO COSTA TAUGHT ME THE PRACTICE OF MINIMALISM.  THIS OPPORTUNITY SHAPED HOW LUXURY FASHION COMMUNICATED MINIMALISM TO ITS  AUDIENCE. I SPENT TIME IN  A NUMBER OF MEETINGS ON DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, STORE PRESENTATION, AND GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS.  THE BUSINESS OF FASHION IS A RIGOROUS ONE.  IT CONSTANTLY TEACHES YOU ABOUT BRAND DEVELOPMENT, BRAND EQUITY AND CUSTOMER LOYALTY.  

AS I BEGAN TO DEVELOP MY PRACTICE OF VISUAL AND BRAND PRESENTATION WITHIN LUXURY STORE DESIGN .    THIS CREATIVE DIRECTION OF PRESENTATION LEAD ME TO BEGIN MY QUEST FOR INTERIOR DESIGN.  ALLOWING ME TO EXPAND MY LOVE OF ARCHITECTURE, OBJECTS, FURNITURE, ART, MATERIALS, STRUCTURES, AND PEOPLE.

AS AN INTERIOR DESIGN CONSULTANT WITH BALLARD DESIGNS, I WAS ABLE TO EXPLORE THE WORLD OF LAYERING WITH TEXTURES AND HISTORICAL FORMATION.   FABRICATION APPLICATION IS A BEAUTIFUL OPPORTUNITY OF TRANSFORMATIVE EXISTENCE.  I HANDLED PROJECTS RANGING  FROM 1000 SQ FT. - 4000 SQ. FT, VALUED AND LISTED ABOVE $300,000.  INVESTMENTS RANGING FROM $10,000 - $100,000.  MY PROJECTS AT BALLARD DESIGNS SOLIDIFIED MY CREATIVE DIRECTION FOR STAGING AND VISUAL PRESENTATION.  

AND MY STAGING CAREERS BEGINS.  STAGING IS LIKE VISITING A MUSEUM OR A WELL CRAFTED HOTEL OR A RESTAURANT THAT HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND STYLED BESPOKE OF A PARTICULAR AESTHETIC.  THIS IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT PROPERTIES AND STRUCTURES;  YOU WANT THE CLIENT TO FEEL LIKE THEY BELONG AND TO EXCITE THEIR SENSES.
