Hello! I’m a professional animator and content producer with over 15 years of experience in the creative industry. I hold a master’s degree in arts (animation) from Wits University and an Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design and New Media from ZIVA in Zimbabwe. My career kick-started as a freelance graphic designer, navigating the artistic landscape with flair. I also shared my knowledge as a college lecturer for animation at City Varsity. Some of the standout projects I’ve worked on include the inaugural Intra Africa Trade Fair in Egypt in 2018 and the SAFTAs 14 in 2020, where I took charge as the Head of Motion Design. Currently, I lead Maumbile Multimedia, a dynamic creative studio in Johannesburg. Preserving African heritage is a passion of mine, which led me to establish Ndoto Kids. Through this venture, we create educational materials for children in African vernacular languages, blending tradition with innovation. I’m a team player, a forward-thinker, and a dedicated leader. My goal is to continuously up-skill my team members, providing creative and unique solutions that meet international standards on every project.
