THE DESIGNER I am Fanel Duce, I was born in ​Port-au-Prince Haiti in February 1983. I have lived in Grand Rue since the year 1984. I grew up in a house with my mom and my dad, My mom died in 1995 in a murder, but after the death of my mother I was still living with my dad, I was still going to school, and was supported by my father. When I was finished with school classic, my father did not have the means to send me to university. The choice he made for me was to become a mechanic, It was one of the best ways in the ghetto to make money. Finally I did not love my dad’s mechanical choices made ​​for me, so I began looking for other ways to create so I could take care of myself. I grew up in the ghetto with a lot of bad temptation and also a lot of creativity, between these two choices I had to pick up one. And this is this choice I take in 2004, to make me become the person I am actually, An artist. And now I am working with Project HOPE Art. It feels so good.
