I am a cartoonist, Illustrator, Animator and Graphic Designer with a good sense of humour and a side of wit! Good natured- I get on well with everybody and am usually very enthusiastic to help out. One day I'd like to be a part of a great team that designs memorable characters, worlds and stories.

Show profile Hide profileIn my past I have worked as a waitron and a barman which taught me great hospitality and people skills, done outsource work for a shoe catalogue which taught me good discipline when it came to time management and deadlines, worked on a couple of flash games, one as part of a team- where I learned to work and contribute as part of a group, and another on my own which taught me to work independently. To top it all off I have recently completed my B-Tech in Visual Communications (Graphic Design) at the Durban University of Technology (DUT) where I learned to use Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign as well as various design techniques and even some video editing skills! My final year of this subject also had me research further into the Video Game industry and the game design process itself! The types of work I enjoy most lie in video game design, digital illustration and animation. I also really enjoy researching these field and won the award for Durban University of Technology's Top B-tech Visual Communication Researcher of 2015.
