About
Hi, I’m Kristian—an experienced graphic and motion designer who loves turning complex ideas into clear, engaging visual stories. I’ve created print, digital, and motion content for major South African brands, as well as international healthcare and educational organisations, working across campaigns, promotional artwork, websites, social media, and marketing materials.
Most recently, I’ve led and produced animation for STEM and learning platforms, designing explainer videos, short-form social animations, interactive infographics, scrollables, and simulation-ready assets. I also work in branded visual systems and storyboard-driven motion graphics, collaborating with educators, scientists, and creative teams to make information accessible and visually compelling across multiple platforms.
