Welcome to Daijon Espe Designs!

My name is actually Raquel Esperanza but I chose the name Daijon Espe because it means “A gift of God” or “a gift of Hope from God”. As I am constantly evolving in my art and discovering new things about myself, I want to share my creativity with others as an inspiration and become that little outlet to share some hope in this world. I want to uplift someone’s spirit, put a smile on their face if even for a minute. That gives me hope every time someone is inspired by something I have created. My heart swells!

I am of Panamanian descent, born in Liberia, Africa. My paternal family originally from The Ivory Coast and my maternal from Panama. You may see that influence in my artwork. I am also from Miami so the mixed culture and eclectic Latin and Afro Caribbean tastes only mirrored what I already am influenced by. I am a Caribbean girl by heart. I love to eat flavor rich foods, seafood, love THE OCEAN, and sunshine. I love the smell of coconuts in the air and breezy afternoons on a hammock by the beach. That would be my dream life.

Inspiration. The true beauty and richness of Africa inspires me. The Caribbean and the oceans. Eclectic people. Sensuality. Fluidity. Spirituality. Christ. My belief in constant growth and evolvement. Women. Women of Color. Beauty. The Earth. Love. Doing EVERYTHING in and with love.

My art is eclectic and sometimes whimsical. You may find many styles in my art but one thing that you will ALWAYS find in my ART is lots of beautiful colors and MY HEART.
