Graphic Designer with 13 years of experience across DOOH, large-format, digital and social campaigns, plus motion graphics. I combine strong traditional design craft with AI-assisted workflows to accelerate concept development, mood boarding and image-to-video production while keeping brand quality high. I translate strategy into compelling visual systems for major South African brands and media companies, delivering on-brand assets optimized for screen, social and in-mall platforms. I’m detail-driven, deadline-focused, and highly collaborative across marketing, production and sales teams.
