Why me?
I treat every project as my latest masterpiece and strive to push my imagination to tell visual stories to inform, educate and entertain audiences. I do this through years of practised techniques using a unique combination of typography, data, photography, artwork and colour to create memorable material.
I am a senior designer and certified creative director on Visual.ly. You can also hire me on Dribbble, Behance and the Working Not Working platforms.
Origin story
I was 14 when a school camp took us to a local, buzzing creative agency. Magazine designs, storyboards, wooden floors, vogue lettering, talk of Neville Brody, logos and a pinball machine. I fell in love and I knew that's where I wanted to be when I was older. Originally from Cape Town, I studied graphic design at the Ruth Prowse School of Art.
After more than a decade of working in agencies and publishers in the advertising industry, I set up my infographic studio, creating and producing professional branded content for corporate clients.
What I'm doing now
I love designing logos for fledgling businesses, mostly to see how the brand evolves over time.
I create resizable, #editabledesignassets in PowerPoint and templates Figma. Take a look at my Figma profile for more info.
At the moment, I'm trialling SVG animations for a large bank and integrating them into various platforms. Very exciting, stay tuned...
