About Me
My Experience
After graduating from Vega The Brand Communications School in Johannesburg, where I specialized in Creative Brand Communications and minored in Branding, I have been employed as an Art Director for over a dozen years, both full-time and freelance.
My Skillset
My attention to detail helps me quickly and effortlessly identify errors in cutting-edge designs. I am capable of working effectively under pressure and producing excellent results in a short amount of time. My interpersonal skills are remarkable, and I have the ability to collaborate seamlessly with a diverse group of people.
My Passions
When I'm not in the office, I dedicate my time to creative design and crafting. I'm always looking for new ways to challenge myself and stay up-to-date with current trends. Additionally, I value strong relationships and meaningful experiences in my life.
