ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
Experience
I’m an independent graphic designer who’s dabbled in everything from branding and social media content to packaging and pattern design—working with clients across trading, NGOs, Music, events & catering. I always sneak in a bit of hand-drawn illustration because nothing beats pen on paper!
In 2021, I co-founded The Cookup, a Cape Town event collective that throws unforgettable parties with top-tier music and production. My job? Making sure our graphics keep up with our quirky ‘puntiful’ vibe.
I also had an awesome internship at AML Group in London, where I got a taste of agency life—doing market research, helping out wherever needed, and seeing the magic happen from brief to pitch.
(Fun fact: When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me Djing as this is my other favourite form of creative outlet that i’ve been pursuing worldwide the last 4 years!
