Kathryn M Almony
KMA, an acronym for Kathryn M. Almony, was originally organized as a boutique publishing house and graphic design studio in Antigua, West Indies. Today the publishing studio base is located in Hawaii, on the Big Island.

Kathryn is a creative with a passion for new ideas, and for bringing them to an audience in a clear, yet exciting manner. Her core talent is to express complex concepts in simple, visual terms, and to combine imagery with language and symbolism to provide clients with a marketable product which will not simply entertain, but inform and edify memorably.

International acclaim in magazine design came after a relocation to Grenada, West Indies in 2000, and grew out of the publication of the Grenada Bar Association's regional law magazine for the public, Oyez!Oyez!.

Contributing editors and featured authors of this annual journal include St. Lucia Prime Minister Dr. Kenny Anthony, a leading expert on the implementation of of the Caribbean Court of Justice, and Attorney Ruggles Ferguson, the West Indies' leading constitutional formation and development specialist, in addition to many other regional leaders.

Oyez!Oyez! is hailed as a thought provoking addition to scant legal public education resources, and has opened a new avenue for bringing complex legal and constitutional realities into understanding for the general public.
