About
I’m a soweto-based illustrator and animator bringing South African stories to life with vibrant, playful visuals. With 4 years of experience crafting children’s books and 3D animations I’ve worked on projects like The Adventures of Kiko the Meerkat in 2022 when I was only 15 years old and animated shorts for local festivals. I blend traditional African art with digital magic to create engaging imaginative content that resonates with kids globally. Deadline driven and client focused I love collaborating with brands and publishers to tell stories that spark joy
