Available to hire
I am a South African-born, Australian citizen with over ten years of advertising agency experience in South Africa and Australia. I’ve worked across fashion, finance, FMCG, automotive and retail, delivering strategic concepts and award-winning visual campaigns.
As a proactive leader and mentor, I’ve directed teams to meet tight deadlines, collaborated across disciplines, and more recently served as Communications and Marketing Manager for a non-profit, amplifying the organisation’s message on digital platforms and engaging key stakeholders to strengthen brand presence.
Creativity is at the heart of everything I do, and I’m continually inspired by graphic design, art, and music.
