Ron Desir, professionally known as Ron Des, is the visionary behind KANVAS — a creative platfor m that bridges fashion, Black surrealism, and sacred community spaces. Born and raised in [inse rt city], Ron’s upbringing was defined by dual worlds: tradition and experimentation, spiritual ity and self-expression. These themes now pulse through every stitch and stroke of his work.

KANVAS was sparked by a simple truth: the barbershop is more than a place for haircuts — it’s a temple for transformation. Ron blends this reverence with a futurist aesthetic, crafting piece s and visuals that challenge perception and celebrate Black identity in its many forms.

His artistic voice emerged early — from reimagining everyday moments through sketchbooks to capturing the textures of his neighborhood with a spiritual lens. Years later, those raw instincts evolved into a full-body creative practice spanning textiles, photography, digital art, and editorial direction.

Through KANVAS, Ron pushes for fashion that’s not just seen but *felt*. Inspired by the works of Basquiat, the vision of Virgil Abloh, and the spirituality of Black gospel traditions, his collections and visuals speak to those unafraid to be bold, layered, and deeply rooted.

Values of authenticity, elevation, and legacy guide every project. For Ron, creativity is not performance — it’s practice. And the goal isn’t just to create something cool — it’s to arc hive lived experience, remix sacred iconography, and remind the world that Black imagination is infinite.

Current mantra: “Don’t shrink to fit what you’ve outgrown.”
