About

I’m Okuhle Dladla, a 3D animation artist and music producer based in Johannesburg, South Africa. I combine hands-on animation craft with storytelling, leading teams on multimedia campaigns and metaverse concepts for brands like BMW, Anglo American, and Sasol through Unbox Galaxies.

I have built a practice that blends technical direction with creative direction—designing 3D visuals, storyboard art, and music-driven campaigns. In my spare time, I mentor youth through Teen Outreach Christian Club camps, and I pursue ongoing education in 3D animation and film arts.
