ALL PROJECTS
Designed by curiosity.
Led by empathy.
I grew up drawing and colouring everything in sight and for a long time, I thought I'd end up in Fine Art or Film. It was my university lecturer who stopped me and said: don't go into Film, there isn't money. Interaction Design is where you need to be, because you are good with people.
“Interaction Design chose me. And I fell in love with it because for the first time, I got to build experiences for real people. Not just make things look good, but to make people feel happy and accomplished.”
I graduated from the University of Johannesburg with three qualifications in Multimedia and Interaction Design, and built a career across South Africa's most recognised brands.
