I'm a graphic designer, illustrator and photographer with 20+ years in the creative industry. In 2016 I founded Hello Mister Frank, an illustration and design studio. Since 2005 I've collaborated with creative studios, design houses and marketing agencies across Cape Town and Johannesburg, and have partnered with top‑tier global agencies on high‑quality print and animation projects. As Creative Director at Hello Mister Frank (2016–present) and through remote roles with Wonderland Collective (2012–2014) and Berachain (2025–2026), I specialise in illustration (2D and 3D), branding, typography and custom lettering, as well as 3D design, photography and AI‑driven artwork. I work across print, digital and NFT projects, with experience in Web3, social content and team leadership.
