About

Art Director & Brand Designer | Open to Full-Time Opportunities Passionate about breaking the traditional boundaries of specialisation, I integrate art direction, graphic design, motion graphics, and product photography to create holistic design solutions that elevate brands and engage audiences. With 7 years of hands-on experience, I've collaborated with diverse clients, delivering exceptional work that exceeds expectations. From leading brands to startups, I've crafted compelling brand stories and impactful designs. Based in Cape Town, I'm eager for new design adventures and open to relocation. At Qatar Museums, I contributed to M7's success through visually stunning design solutions, blending art direction, branding, product photography, and motion graphics.
