Douglas Ames is the Owner and Managing Director of Webfx. We call him “Doug-E-Slaughter” after his tyrannical behavior when deadlines aren’t met.

Douglas has always been involved in managing technology, starting with his career in the telecommunications industry in 1996 running a Call-Back service. He then entered the world of internet media, with the launch and eventual sale of the HOMEVIEW group of websites.

As a graduate of St. Anthony’s College in Diego Martin, Trinidad, he learnt that hard work and dedication pays off. He likes running, liming, reading (The Economist is his favourite magazine) and eating Sushi!

Richelle’s dedicated years of service to Webfx and her pleasant nature has helped her to maintain a great relationship with her clients, but her timeliness and efficiency make it easy. Richelle loves yoga, listening to music while cooking, having a glass of wine…or 4 with her girls, making a fool out of herself with her nephews and feeling unconditional love in her marriage every day.

Israel Ramjohn is a Multimedia Designer at WebFX. In his pre-school days he was playing with plasticine. In secondary school it was with paint brushes and clay. At the tertiary level and in the professional world now, he plays with the camera and the mouse. Israel has always been a visual artist and he sees any creative challenge as a potentially fun venture!

He thinks it’s a brilliant way to cheat life by getting paid to do something you actually really love. He loves all aspects of filmmaking and writing scripts (but that hasn’t turned a profit just yet).

On things that he loves, food comes in a close second. Israel has been cooking up a storm in the family business since he could reach the countertop and eating as much as he could fit in his big mouth. Dragon Boat Racing is the next love and he has been paddling since 2008, representing T&T at two IDBF World Championships and still training every weekend so all the extra calories balance out. Lastly, he loves to smile, because joy multiplies when it is shared.

Katrina Fisken grew up in England and spends her free time travelling and immersing herself in new cultures. She completed a solo world backpacking trip at the age of 17, visiting 14 countries in 10 months. This is where she found her passion for Tourism. Katrina went on to complete her degree in Hospitality and Tourism from Les Roches University in Switzerland from which she graduated with a distinction.

Katrina then decided to make the next biggest move of her life and settle in Trinidad, the home of her Mother and extended family but now also a home to herself. She is out-going, personable and a little weird which are probably the characteristics that led her to Webfx, where she works as an Account Executive. Her passion for building relationships is key in her work and she loves to exceed expectations in everything she does.

Along with travelling Katrina enjoys relaxing on the weekend with plenty of wine and good friends. She is never shy and always up for a chat (with wine).

If you can’t find him there, you definitely will find him on the basketball court where he welcomes all challengers.

By day, Anton is a brand strategist, and by night he fancies himself a Carnival costume designer. He started his career in advertising many years ago as a bright-eyed intern in the strategy dept of an advertising agency and never looked back. He believes in the power of storytelling, and unearthing the value that sound cohesive strategy can provide to a client. The surest way to get him to accomplish something is by telling him he can’t do it!

Carnival is his biggest love – both the festival itself as well as design elements in it. There is simply something different about that time of the year, and as a designer, it is a unique joy to watch your vision come to life with hundreds of masqueraders blissfully enjoy themselves wearing something you dreamed about for months before!

When Danae isn’t working, you can find her reading, sinking her teeth into some trashy reality tv, or liming with friends over a glass of wine (or two). She loves writing and wants to pen the next great Trinidadian Rom-Com! Now to get Tom Hardy’s agent on the phone….
