Graphic Designer at Grid Worldwide (TBWA) Johannesburg, South Africa Landing a job as a Junior in the most awarded branding agency in the country, I quickly advanced to Senior Designer over my 3 years at Grid. The experience in designing strategically and producing high-end international brands with some of the best minds helped establish my approach to brand design and storytelling today across all mediums, print and digital.
My key experience comes as a brand designer with 15+ years experience in award-winning agencies for profitable clients, building watertight strategy and design systems, and finally, telling great brand stories – from CI to UI.
After 3 fundamental years with the award-winning strategic brand design agency Grid Worldwide (TBWA) in Johannesburg, I then pursued more responsibility with some life-changing creative teams, and have since been independently consulting and building brands for SME's and entrepreneurs – leading with my background in corporate and blue-chip clients like FNB, RMB, MTN, Liberty Life, Telkom, KFC and Brand SA solidified my systematic approach in upholding brand continuity and fidelity.
My grit and strength comes as a professional, unbiased and conceptual designer, helping both influential and boutique brands launch into new phases of their journey, physically and digitally.
I am not merely a resource, but a partner in my clients success.
