I am a multi-discipline designer and illustrator living in Cape Town, South Africa.

I am passionate, to an unhealthy extent, about creating stylish & stunning designs and delivering marketing projects that add real value to your business.

My background is pretty diverse, ranging everywhere from bricklaying for my father (true story), the restaurant business (bar man) & even pulling targets at a black powder musket gun shooting range (granted only for a day).

All this has given me a very unique insight into communication. I understand what people want and why they want it. What they need and why they need it. And how they go about getting it. Which is why I am great at what I do.

What's in my arsenal?

Everything... The complete set of skills you're looking for, the fresh face, mind and perspective you need. I have the technical skills necessary, the drive and ambition required to make every project a success. But enough with the the self-sale. What I've been up to?

I've been working as a graphic designer in the marketing & communications department of RaniComm for the past 6 years, producing all the creative for Rani & 48hOURS magazine.

This entails everything from Magazine's overall look and feel, client's custom advertising to web graphics, site designs & the sites daily updating.
Pretty much everything design related...I am a part of.

I've been involved in all processes from concept to completion. And...I have been running my own freelance design business as well, gaining valuable experiences otherwise not gained in an office environment.

The list (you knew it was coming):

- 7+ years design experience with multiple client types & platforms
- Thorough understanding of design principles and techniques
- Decent knowledge of HTML/CSS
- Meticulous attention to detail
- High level skills in the Adobe® Creative Suite
- Able to manage multiple projects
- Self-Starter & responsible
- Customer service skills bar none
- Can handle criticism, in fact it is encouraged!
