About

I’m just a person that likes to tell stories using my camera as my pen and screens as my paper. I’ve spent over a decade working in the television industry in South Africa and in that time the lessons I’ve learn’t could be a valuable asset to any organisation. My motto in every project is that the production comes first which means I not only focus on the major aspects but also the minor ones that can and generally elevate the final product.
