Officially titled: Senior Graphic Designer, I am an artist who constantly strives to push the boundaries of my perceived creativity and ability.

I’ve worked on Design and Brand Development for RCI Southern Africa, Independent Democrats (Patricia de Lille), Mandela Rhodes Foundation, Engen, Desmond Tutu Leadership Awards, Sasko & Orley Foods. More recently (last four years), I specialised in Investor Communication Design for JSE Corporates: Old Mutual UK, Nedbank Group, Foschini Ltd, Truworths Ltd, Rex Trueform, Lewis Group Ltd, KAP International & Clicks Holdings.
