I’m an independent graphic designer who’s dabbled in everything from branding and social media content to packaging and pattern design—working with clients across trading, NGOs, Music, events & catering. I always sneak in a bit of hand-drawn illustration because nothing beats pen on paper!
In 2021, I co-founded The Cookup, a Cape Town event collective that throws unforgettable parties with top-tier music and production. My job? Making sure our graphics keep up with our quirky ‘puntiful’ vibe.
I also had an awesome internship at AML Group in London, where I got a taste of agency life—doing market research, helping out wherever needed, and seeing the magic happen from brief to pitch.
(Fun fact: When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me Djing as this is my other favourite form of creative outlet that i’ve been pursuing worldwide the last 4 years!
