I am a Senior Graphic Designer and visual communicator with 11 years of experience crafting high-impact creative solutions across print and digital platforms. Originally from Cape Town, I earned my Bachelor's in Graphic Design from Cape Peninsula University of Technology in 2015 and relocated to the UK in September 2024, bringing a global perspective to brand identity, digital design, and cross-channel campaigns. I thrive in collaborative environments, mentoring junior talent and streamlining design workflows from concept to delivery. I love blending aesthetic excellence with strategic execution, using modern tools—from Figma to generative AI—to push creative boundaries.
