Matshepho Phaahla

Multimedia Designer

Johannesburg, South Africa
As a Multimedia Designer my primary focus is on Graphic design, Illustration, Videography, Photography, Digital video editing, Digital photo editing, Typography, Motion graphics and 2D - Animation. I take on projects with a minimal and simple but stylistic approach. I like exploring different mediums in design and storytelling, as I believe that combining more than one visual medium of media is more visually dynamic and more insightful in communicating stories, messages or meaning.
