In my 14 years as a graphic designer, I have worked with a wide range of clients from large corporates, leading exhibition organisers and major retail brands, to small companies and start-ups. I worked in Gauteng for 10 years, before moving to Knysna in 2010.
Brands I have worked on (and a bit of name dropping which will hopefully impress...):
JHI, Nedbank, Sasol, SAPOA, CSIR, Visa, Coca-Cola, Cell C, Cellini, Sony, Toys R Us, Rage, Edgars, Woodmill Lane Leisure Shopping, Decorex SA, South African Handmade Collection, Mama Magic (The Baby Expo), Knysna Literary Festival, RBA Housing, Cityscape, Department of Education, State Diamond Trader and LoveLife
In addition to my traditional graphic design services, I have created a range of textiles and soft furnishings, operating under the name of iSpy. iSpy has been an ongoing project since early 2013. I have exhibited at Design Indaba and my products retail online (www.ispy-shop.com), as well as several outlets in Knysna, Cape Town, the UK and Germany.
Please get in touch for my complete CV.
