I’m Landi Degenaar, a graphic designer and brand designer based in Cape Town with 15+ years of experience creating visual communication across branding, digital and print design, advertising, web design, and creative production. I love turning ideas into clear, compelling visual identities—whether that’s a logo system, marketing materials, social media graphics, posters and banners, merchandise, or large-format artwork. I’ve worked with teams and clients on end-to-end design projects, from concept and layout through production, while keeping strong focus on visual consistency and attention to detail. Alongside my design career, I’ve also contributed to film and television as an art department scenic artist and assistant, and supported animation research and stop-motion work—experiences that keep my visual storytelling skills sharp and versatile.
