I am a Creative Director with 15 years of experience at agencies in Cape Town as well as in Dubai. With a focus on design, I have led the creative on many iconic local and international brands. My most recent branding achievement was creating an icon and identity for South Africa’s newest icon, The Zeitz MOCAA.
The longevity of branding is what I love most about my job. The idea that the logos and identities we create will likely outlast us and inspire future generations of creatives is what guides my work.
